Alibaba
With Alibaba expanding the scale of Daytime activities and involving more grocery stores and services and brick and mortar hotels, the gross value of merchandise, or GMV, through its platforms closed a day 27% higher, because a record $ 30,800 million (RMB 213,500 million). & Nbsp; The company's Singles & # 39; volume returned to exceed & nbsp; US online sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined and headed Amazon Prime Day's purchasing bonus, which surely should not be surprising since the number of active mobile monthly users of Alibaba is 666 million, double the entire population of the US. UU.
The day arose as a barometer of Chinese consumer spending, especially in the context of a slow China economy and a trade war between the United States and China.
"That tendency (of a rising Chinese middle class) will not stop, trade with war or no commercial war," said executive vice president of Alibaba, Joe Tsai, in a company blog post Sunday
While recent Chinese government data showed "weakness" on big ticket items, including home appliances and cars, and suggested that Chinese consumers "see uncertainty in the future and are cutting back on purchases of durable goods," China's retail markets Alibaba, including Tmall and Taobao, continued to see "robust growth" on staples to the consumer, cosmetics and clothing, Tsai said at the beginning of the month when Alibaba informed his Last quarterly earnings.
China's "middle class consumers" have experienced significant real wage growth over the past decade, and are looking for high-quality products to meet their discretionary expense and increasingly sophisticated lifestyle, "& nbsp;Tsai he said at the time. Citing an OECD forecast, Tsai said the middle class of China & nbsp; almost triple it & nbsp; by 2030, up to 850 million, of 300 million.
Here are other dishes & nbsp; of this year's Simpatic Day:
International brands want their share of the Chinese middle class portfolio
When Alibaba began monetizing Singles Day in 2009, 27 brands, including
Adidas
More than 40% of & nbsp;Alibaba Buyers of Day of Singles have bought international brands and almost 240 brands – including Apple, Dyson, Kindle, Est & eacute; and Lauder, The- Nestlé, Gap, Nike and Adidas- have surpassed 100 million RMB (14.4 million dollars) in GMV one day said Alibaba.
In spite of the commercial seed of the United States and China, the love of the Chinese consumers to the American products did not show signs of diminution: the United States only stopped selling to China in terms of GMV.
For example,
Starbucks
Nike
Alibaba faces the growing competition of the Simpsons Day
Only & nbsp; like Amazon Prime Day & nbsp; have retailers in the United States & nbsp; including & nbsp;
Walmart
Goal
JD.com
Many brands are not yet blinded to the importance of other platforms. Nike, for example, said that their One-time Singles Day offers would be available on all Nike Direct platforms, including Nike.com, SNKRS and Nike.com on Alibaba Tmall, as well as the Nike WeChat Mini-Programs. on the Tencent platform. & nbsp; For a good reason: WeChat's global active users number this year has exceeded & nbsp; a & nbsp; millions
According to the research firm Analysys International, Alibaba he had a percentage of 58% of the market share of electronic commerce in China by GMV from the second quarter, followed by JD.com by 26%.
A & nbsp; record day of sales, & nbsp; yes, but & nbsp; Is it sustainable and at what cost? & Nbsp;
Alibaba's unmarried day, despite reaching another record, actually saw its slow growth rate from about 40% last year, as Amazon Prime Day's sales recorded this year failed to prevent the report decreasing quarterly growth of electronic commerce sales.
Alibaba, like its global rivals, is aggressively looking at growth abroad. For example, its acquisition Lazada, & nbsp; an e-commerce market from Southeast Asia, held its own singles & # 39; Day shopping event for the first time this year.
Even so, even with & nbsp; effort to gain market share, & nbsp; It is not clear whether the day itself was really profitable for Alibaba and its rivals. Alibaba and its main competitors have been doubling the technology and logistics costs that could make China's mobile phone consumers easier to switch between purchases on their smart phones and the store, but these investments have come at a cost.
A case in point: despite reporting higher incomes in its entire e-commerce core, cloud computing and other segments, & nbsp;Alibaba & # 39;Income from operations fell 19% in the most recent quarter, lost & nbsp; partly spending & nbsp; in which Alibaba called "New retailers" initiatives to integrate sales in physical stores and online.
