PETALING JAYA: Shopee, a mobile marketplace in Southeast Asia, has recorded a significant growth in all seven markets with about 80 million downloads and over 180 million active products from over four million entrepreneurs over two years.
The online shopping platform was first launched in Singapore in 2015 and is currently growing in Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
In a statement, Shopee said for the Malaysian market, it has registered over five million downloads with over 200,000 entrepreneurs and brand participation.
“In addition, Shopee University, a series of skills workshops for local entrepreneurs and businesses to learn how to succeed via e-commerce, has so far guided more than 4,000 participants from 10 states,” it said.
Shopee Malaysia Regional Managing Director Ian Ho said Shopee is committed to consumer needs and preferences.
“We will continuously strive to improve the quality of life of consumers and businesses in the region through technology, while providing a fast and easy shopping experience, as well as a reliable platform for new entrepreneurs,” he said.
