After Covid hit 3 years ago it confined everyone to their homes and shopping alongside every other thing that moved online. That led to the rise of online retailing apps and websites like Alibaba and Amazon. These websites are those that give C2C or Consumer to Consumer opportunities to people. On these websites, users can upload items for sale and buy them as well. Now, if we talk about the most popular C2C business website then, eBay might just be on the top but according to a new survey conducted by GroupM Alibaba has taken that stop.
The above-mentioned survey was conducted by GroupM and was revealed to the public in September. The report was titled “This year, Next year: E-commerce and Retail Media Forecast” and was based on Retail Ecommerce Gross Merchandise Value (GMV).
For those who don’t know GMV OR Gross Merchandise Value is the amount of merchandise that has been sold through C2C or on e-commerce platforms.
