According to the latest company data, Taobao Shangou – Alibaba’s “instant buy and instant delivery” service – generated more than 100 million non-food orders from new users during the first two weeks of the Singles’ Day shopping festival as of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The results suggest Alibaba’s strategy of attracting new consumers through heavy subsidies on everyday items such as milk tea and lunchboxes is paying off, justifying the Hangzhou-based company’s large investment in the model and strengthening its position against rivals including Meituan, PDD Holdings and JD.com.<\/p>\n

Launched in late April, Taobao Shangou was now “a major driver of brand growth and significantly boosted e-commerce sales”, Alibaba’s Taobao and Tmall unit said in a statement on Thursday. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n

The rise of instant commerce<\/span> – where orders are delivered within 30 minutes or less – depends on highly efficient warehousing and logistics. Alibaba had applied its artificial intelligence systems to optimise delivery routes and ensure smooth fulfilment, the company said.<\/div>\n
