The Western expansion of the Chinese digital mega-companies is underway. One of these gigantic companies is the Chinese digital shopping conglomerate Alibaba who recently had its own American IPO.
Alibaba is often referred to as the Chinese Amazon (without the fulfillment element). With stats like the ones below, one can understand the general comparison.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Alibaba Group is actually made up of a number of smaller companies including:
Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, Juhuasuan, AliExpress, Alibaba.com, 1688.com, eTao, Aliyun, China Yahoo!, Laiwang, Yu’E Bao, AutoNavi, Cainiao, Chinavision, Alimama, SM.cn and 11 Main.
Alibaba also has sizable interests in a number of other large digital companies including: Weibo, Youku Tudou, Shoprunner, Tango, Singapore Post and UCWeb.
Here are a few of the more interesting Alibaba statistics we were able to dig up…

This report is a digital collection of the most interesting Alibaba statistics I have been able to dig up over the years; 90+ of them including stats on:
- Users
- Sales
- Revenue
- Advertising
- Singles Day
- AliExpres
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.
To get your copy of this stat report, click on the button below to purchase it.
or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Alibaba property reports (Alibaba, Alipay, Tmall and Taobao).
Bundle 2: China digital reports (Alibaba, Baidu, Ctrip, JD.com, QQ, YY, Tmall, Taobao, WeChat and Weibo).
Bundle 3: eCommerce digital reports (Alibaba, Alipay, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Flipkart, JD.com, Tmall, Taobao and Paypal).
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Alibaba’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
