Pinduoduo rocks the market

Pinduoduo users surpassed JD.com and challenged Taobao in just three years since it was established.

The number of active buyers skyrocketed from 67.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 to 418.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The annual per capita consumption increased from 67.7 CNY to 1,127 CNY. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the revenue was 5.653 billion CNY, a year-on-year increase of 379%

So, how did they manage to squeeze the momentum on such a harsh and competitive arena?

The WeChat fission power of the purchase combined with the shocking “low price” mentioned above, the user naturally flies up, and the extremely low user growth cost makes it possible to implement the low price strategy more arbitrarily and distribute it to provide low supply.
