9. Report: Young people in small towns have more online shopping capabilities than first-tier cities, and they buy more luxury goods

On September 30, management consulting company McKinsey recently released the "2019 China Digital Consumer Trends Report", which shows that e-commerce spending in low-tier cities has surpassed first- and second-tier cities in 2016. Compared with consumers in large cities, small and medium-sized cities have lower price sensitivity and are more interested in higher-priced luxury goods and limited edition models.

The report said that e-commerce expenditure in low-tier cities has surpassed first- and second-tier cities in 2016. At present, the proportion of online shopping for young consumers under the age of 35 in third- and fourth-tier cities exceeds 90%, and the overall online shopping ratio also exceeds 80%, which is almost the same as first- and second-tier cities.

It is worth noting that consumers in the sinking market are not only concerned about discounted products. In contrast, higher-priced luxury goods, more difficult-to-buy special products and limited products are more popular; McKinsey report shows that consumers in small and medium-sized cities have lower price sensitivity than consumers in large cities.

"The young people in small towns are very motivated to buy some good things to improve their lives. If you buy these top-notch goods, it is a very respectful thing for you to take them out in front of your friends," said Wang Wei, senior director partner of McKinsey. "They embraced this opportunity to obtain goods online to a greater extent, and they also felt that the things they bought were worth the money because I was able to show my things to my friends."

About a week ago, Noon launched Kul, a affordable e-commerce platform in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, focusing on low-priced products. It is reported that Noon purchased the domain name kul.com for more than $38,000 as early as February last year.

Noon has launched the affordable e-commerce Kul in a low-key manner, competing directly with Awok and Dealy, a subsidiary of Zhiyu
. Users can buy perfumes of Dh15, mobile phones of Dh33, and even watches of Dh7. Among them, most of the products are Noon.

Unlike Noon's free shipping without thresholds, users need to purchase items of over 50 Dhh or 50 riyals on Kul to enjoy free shipping.

But you can also enjoy a fast logistics experience on Kul. Noon also provides logistics support for Kul, and users can enjoy a 48-hour home delivery experience after placing an order.

Noon低调推出平价电商Kul，与Awok和执御旗下Dealy直接竞争
另外，Kul还有一个显著特点是，可接收并销售翻新产品。平台优质精选卖家可以向Kul提供高性价比翻新产品。经Kul检查和测试后，这些翻新产品以更低的价格向卖家出售，并享有三个月的保修期。

Although the UAE and Saudi Arabia have a high per capita GDP, most of them are migrant workers, especially those from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Bangladesh, who support the hotels, shopping malls and other service industries here. But their income is not high. Kul and other affordable e-commerce websites are targeting this consumer group. (Hugo.com)
