Expansion beyond China

The JD.com Joybuy Europe launch reflects the company’s efforts to expand outside China. Domestic e-commerce competition and slower consumer demand have pushed several Chinese retailers to explore overseas markets.

JD.com has gradually built its European logistics network through warehouses, fulfilment centres and delivery services.

The company has also invested in regional retail infrastructure, including a €2.2 billion acquisition of Ceconomy, the German electronics retail group that owns MediaMarkt and Saturn chains.
