Alibaba Will See Higher Growth but More Investments at the Same Time

Chelsey Tam

Alibaba is losing market share to PDD Holdings, or PDD, and Douyin in the China e-commerce business, and we don't see a quick fix in the near term. Alibaba's number of annual active consumers in the China retail marketplace was surpassed by PDD in the fiscal year ended March 2021. Meanwhile, Douyin has gained share from Alibaba especially in the beauty and apparel categories in recent years, and entered the traditional search-based e-commerce space, competing directly with Alibaba. The number of annual active consumers at Alibaba is close to the ceiling in China. Alibaba's gross merchandise volume to China's online retail sales of goods ratio was 62% in the year ended March 2023 at Alibaba, down from 72% in the year-ago period. We believe Alibaba's marketplace monetization rates will decline in the long run, due to mix-shift toward Taobao which has lower take rate compared with Tmall, and more competition.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Alibaba is able to maintain or increase its gross merchandise volume share in China's e-commerce space, demonstrating its ability to execute its turnaround strategy.

Bears

Alibaba's gross merchandise volume share in China decreases faster than our expectation as competitors such as Douyin successfully enter the search-based e-commerce business.
