Amid the augmented warmth of dispersing Chinese goods overseas, the Chinese most popular and successful e-commerce web page Pinduoduo has won momentum for its 1st global attempt in the U.S.
The very first US online shopping site has been launched by Pinduoduo and the website is called Temu.
It has cemented its presence in order to give an arduous challenge to the U.S e-commerce leader, Amazon.
Temu went online on 2nd Sept 2022 and it gained the top spot among the US Android shopping apps, during the mid-september, just a few days after its arrival, as stated by the app analytics platform Data.ai. Only the new downloads have been indicated by the rankings, so scaling the activeness and user retention is quite hard.

Pinduoduo’s Mammoth Effort To Make Chinese Domestic Goods International
Pinduoduo, a Chinese technology used to promote and enable its traditional agricultural industry was founded by Colin Huang in 2015.
Shanghai, China has its headquarters. Despite being a juvenile firm, it has crossed a long way and is now on its way to cross its rivals’ growth, so as to stand shoulder by shoulder with giant e-commerce companies like Alibaba and JD.com.
Till now Pinduoduo has raised a total of $3.8 billion and the net worth of the company is about $87 billion.
After the resurgence from covid-19, the domestic economy of China has faced a number of challenges, due to which its economic growth has been weakened gradually and resulted in devastating the sentiments of consumers.
But the clever strategy of this e-commerce by connecting the consumers directly to its manufacturers has resulted in the dynamic rise of the company. It allows trimming middlemen costs and finally price items more competitively than others depending on the layers of providers.
Brand-building is not the particular aim of Pinduoduo, as its growth and success is rooted in vending white-label goods at a good discount. It remains to see whether this strategy will help in boosting the factory’s product image, beyond “cheap Chinese goods”.
Pinduoduo’s Temu vs Amazon
The major challenge for Pinduoduo will be the cracking of the U.S market. The reputation of Amazon is appreciably high in the US market, so firstly, Temu has to be strong enough to build a brand mark up to the level of Amazon.

It has also been announced by the company that deliveries above $49 will be delivered free of cost.
On the other hand, Amazon’s offers of same-day or next-day delivery and the exciting and captivating exchange limits can be the biggest hurdle in the growth and success path of Pinduoduo’s Temu.
