10. Germany's second largest e-commerce platform, Otto, will be open to Chinese merchants next year
It is reported that Otto's development strategy will focus next year on opening up the Chinese market. During his decades of development, Otto has focused on the home and fashion categories that he is good at. Many markets will adopt a self-operated method to control product quality. That is, after designing the products yourself, you will organize production overseas and adopt overseas purchasing methods. This is also Otto's more important product production and procurement model.
但近几年,Otto逐渐选择开放第三方卖家入驻其平台,但一直没有向中国市场开放。对此,徐贝西表示,之所以现在决定开放中国市场的主要原因是:在看到中国品牌商家在国际电商平台的一系列成功后,Otto认为,中国商家以提供高性价比商品著称的市场定位与Otto不谋而合。(亿邦动力)
