SUMMARY
- Temu, the cross-border e-commerce platform of Chinese PDD Holdings (owner of Pinduoduo), has caused a great stir in Southeast Asia’s e-commerce landscape after its launch in Thailand in mid July.
- The platform has achieved remarkable success in Western markets, especially in the US, where it became themost downloaded app, surpassing Amazon, and has reached 70 markets worldwide within just 24 months.
- By directly connecting manufacturers and wholesalers – mainly in China – to customers around the world, Temu offers a unique value proposition of low prices through its cross-border model, as highlighted by its tagline “shop like a billionaire”.
