China E-commerce

Domestic consumption is recovering, but consumers remain cautious

China's economy has been recovering at a slower-than-expected pace since the beginning of 2023. The K-shaped recovery, with the wealthy becoming richer and other consumers cutting back discretionary spending, has been the primary theme of China's domestic consumption.

In May 2023 (including pre-sale for the 618 shopping festival), the Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of China's major e-commerce platforms, including Kuaishou, Douyin, Tmall, and JD, increased by 13% compared to the previous month. The comparable month-on-month change in 2022 and 2021 was 29% and 16%, respectively. (Note that the 2022 MoM growth is affected by the low base caused by Covid lockdowns in March and April 2022)

Kuaishou and Douyin are slashing prices

In the slow recovery environment, Tmall and JD are facing increasing pressure from Pinduoduo, as well as live-streaming e-commerce platforms Douyin and Kuaishou. (On these platforms, consumers can often find cheaper alternatives or better prices.)

In May, the average sale prices (ASP) on Tmall, Douyin, and Kuaishou were 82, 51, and 35 CNY, respectively. The ASP on Kuaishou and Douyin has been decreasing at a faster pace since the beginning of 2022.

*Note that the average selling price (ASP) may vary between different categories, and the chart only shows an overall comparison.

Pinduoduo (NASDAQ: PDD) is expanding its hiring, demonstrating management's confidence
