Impact of Economic-Stimulus Measures

The recent economic-stimulus measures introduced by Beijing have notably spurred consumer spending, as seen in the strong performance from over 9,600 brands in various categories. The campaign results indicate a clear recovery trajectory for the second-largest economy.

• Apple, Oppo, and Vivo also posted remarkable GMV figures, showcasing the competitive nature of the consumer electronics market.
• Beauty brands like UGG and Victoria's Secret contributed significantly to the apparel category, with Uniqlo standing out by surpassing 1 billion yuan in sales.

Incorporating live-streaming e-commerce further amplified sales, setting a record for Taobao and Tmall with more than 100 live-stream rooms generating over 100 million yuan in GMV.
