Alibaba's New Campaign: Alibaba is launching a 100-day "Super Saturdays" campaign under its Taobao Shangou brand to increase order volumes and compete against rivals Meituan and JD.com, offering subsidies on low-cost items amidst a fierce price war in China's instant delivery market.
Market Outlook: Analysts predict that while Meituan currently leads in daily order volume, the overall potential for China's instant commerce sector remains strong, with projections of exceeding 2 trillion yuan by 2030, despite concerns over profit margins and ongoing promotional strategies affecting stock prices.
