Is China’s E-commerce Dominance a Threat to Amazon and Walmart?

theguru Views  

Chinese e-commerce companies are increasing their influence in the global market.

According to the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy on the 6th, German market research firm Statista analyzed that Chinese e-commerce companies are leading the global market.

Citing e-commerce research firm eCommerce DB, Statista reported that based on B2C e-commerce sales, China’s online retail sales amounted to $2.2 trillion last year. The United States ($981 billion) and the United Kingdom ($157 billion) followed.

Statista explained, “The growth of the Chinese e-commerce market has opened a new chapter in the Chinese economy,” adding, “The contribution of the digital economy to China’s domestic GDP is steadily increasing, and the growth of the e-commerce market is raising the employment rates.”

Currently, the representative e-commerce companies in China include Alibaba’s AliExpress, Pinduoduo’s Temu, Douyin’s TikTok Shop, and fast-fashion company Shein.

The Wall Street Journal reported, “Shein and Temu are proliferating in the United States,” adding, “Shein is currently the number one Google Play Store shopping app in 115 countries, and Temu has the second highest access rate after Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. The time spent on Temu is twice as long as that of major competitors such as Amazon.”

Industry experts predicted that from 2023 to 2027, the Chinese e-commerce market will grow at an annual average of 11.6%, reaching $3.6 trillion in 2027.
