Alibaba conquers Polish market

Two online platforms owned by Chinese Alibaba had nearly 4 million Polish users as of the end of March, according to a survey by Megapanel PBI/Gemius cited by Rzeczpospolita daily.

Aliexpress had 2.3 million Polish which translates to over 11 percent of market share among Polish internet users. The main platform, Alibaba.com had 1.5 million users.

The Chinese e-store has become more popular than other popular websites, such as Euro RTV AGD, Media Markt and Empik, the daily pointed out.

Alibaba offers a variety of Chinese products, produced by local companies. They usually offer lower prices than the well-known brands, however quality can often be an issue.
