The impact of Temu on Thailand’s e-commerce market remains unclear
FILE photo Chinese e-commerce giant Temu's entry into Thailand is causing a stir, but its long-term impact on the local market remains uncertain, according to a study by market analytics firm Cube Asia. Sellers brace for potential price wars, similar to shifts seen with competitors like Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Simon Torring, co-founder of Cube Asia, notes that Temu, the cross-border platform of China's PDD Holdings, launched in Thailand last July, following its expansions in the Philippines and Malaysia in 2022. The platform has already made significant strides in Western markets, notably in the US, where it recently surpassed Amazon in app downloads. In less than two years, Temu entered 70 global markets. Temu's competitive edge lies in its low-price strategy, directly linking Chinese manufacturers with global buyers, contrasting with Shopee and Lazada, which feature official brand stores. However, Cube Asia found that Temu’s fierce pricing advantages may not always hold up. Research shows Temu's product range is largely unbranded, marked by a blue check for verified sellers. Yet, only 12% of Temu’s products fall into this verified category, mainly electronics and gadgets. Initial price competitiveness studies revealed that three out of five products on Temu were more expensive than those on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok Shop. Discounts on Temu often appear attractive due to high list prices, with subsidies like first-order incentives and free shipping, faced with stiff pricing competition from local rivals. In direct price comparisons, Temu was the cheapest for only two out of five items. Other platforms, like Shopee and Lazada, also provide direct shipments from China, mirroring Temu’s model. Temu’s cross-border approach, though successful globally, faces stiff competition in Southeast Asia with established players like AliExpress, Amazon, and Shein. Torring highlighted that shifting customer loyalty could prove challenging, as regional consumers are accustomed to low-priced Chinese goods on existing platforms. Temu aims to woo these consumers with added discount coupons and special deals, intensifying short-term competition. The broader impact of Temu on the regional e-commerce scene remains to be seen, yet the existing competition shows no signs of waning, adding complexity for both sellers and consumers. -- 2024-09-05 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

This is a discussion forum , it isn't a Court of any kind at all . This forum doesn't legally pass guilt/not guilty , so this isn't a kangaroo Court or any other Court what so ever- 1

Do you still see girls in bars which you would consider as girlfriend/wife?
Ok, I guess I use the word innocent in Thailand a little different than other people use it, especially outside of Thailand. There are obviously very innocent girls, who don't even know that there is a connection between sex and babies. And then there are innocent girls who never saw a guy naked. No, I don't have very innocent girls in mind. For me, in Bangkok nightlife, the word means a girl who is a little shy, and especially shy going on stage and moving her body. She had sex already, but she doesn't perform like she is the star in a movie. She is one of those girls who the elder girls (have to) train first and tell her what to do, what not to do, and all that. Innocent - relatively. -

Construction on Rama 2 Road to be completed in June next year
False. It has been going on for 15 years already? And they are only up to km 36. Expect it to continue to 2035, if not longer. Getting in and out of Bangkok is a nightmare. Heads should be rolling over this fiasco. -

Major bribery ring in highways department uncovered
I have often wondered about these modified wagons. The ones with extra long bits on the back and the ones made wider near the top. They must be carrying extra weight greater than is permitted. At the weigh bridge "Over weight? That'l be 5,000 baht sir".- 1
