Industry special comments: according to media reports, Alibaba's B2C retail business group has recently begun to enter the field of self operated e-commerce. At present, it starts to test the water from 3C category. If it develops smoothly, we expect that in the future, Alibaba may adopt the dual operation mode of "platform e-commerce + self operated e-commerce" in 3C, household appliances, home appliances, jewelry and other categories, and there will be direct competition with JD at that time. According to relevant reports, on the traffic side, alibaba will rename tmall app to Maoxiang app and set it as the traffic portal of its own e-commerce business, but Taobao app remains unchanged.
On the merchant side, alibaba will give lower deduction points to cooperative brands than JD.
We believe that in the short term, Alibaba may give some traffic support to Maoxiang app from Taobao app to help the rapid growth of the first batch of cooperative brands in order to build a benchmark case, which is not difficult for Alibaba; However, in the long run, whether we can continuously obtain and retain high-quality 3C brand businesses depends on whether the logistics performance level can achieve better efficiency.
According to relevant reports, danniao or Shunfeng will be responsible for the distribution of Maoxiang's self operated e-commerce. The specific details are unknown. However, it can be judged in advance that danniao previously mainly provided landing distribution business for tmall supermarket, and its experience was mainly concentrated in the field of Ribai, while Shunfeng's warehouse distribution experience was mainly learned from the cooperation with vipshop, and its experience was mainly concentrated in the field of clothing. Therefore, in the 3C field, they are basically recruits and need a certain period of time to grow. In the future, if we want to expand the scope of warehouse distribution to household appliances or household appliances, it may take longer running in time.
To sum up, we believe that Alibaba's attempt is more to explore new growth space in the field of e-commerce, which is difficult to pose a threat to JD and JD logistics's core competitiveness in the short term.
