On the morning of December 13th, the three major e-commerce platforms announced their results from the Double Twelve Grand Promotion one after another.
Ah Li: 10.37 billion!
Pinbei: 4.06 billion!
Jingdong: 1.69 billion!
The total exceeded 16 billion. Combined with the 30 billion from Double Eleven, the cumulative sales from the two major Q4 promotions reached 46 billion Hua Yuan.
Subsequently, the General Postal Association released data showing that the national daily average parcel volume for December was 26 million, with the industry's total annual volume projected to surpass 8 billion.
This, combined with Ma Liyun's announcement that Ah Li's GMV had reached one trillion, signaled that e-commerce was officially entering the peak of its golden decade.
People online were reminded of the bet between Ma Liyun and Wang Jianlin, the head of Wanda. Perhaps in ten years, e-commerce really could become the backbone of the retail industry and claim half the market.
