As e-commerce development in China's first-and second-tier cities nears a plateau, young people in the nation's smaller cities and towns are shaping up to be the next impetus driving growth.

"Living costs are lower in these cities, allowing them to enjoy a much more relaxed lifestyle than consumers in larger cities," said Wang Wei, a senior partner at McKinsey based in Hong Kong. "They have a lot of time on their hands as they spend a lot less time commuting to and from work than their counterparts in larger cities."
