The platform's largest annual sale is driven by global buying
trends and offers attractive savings for digital
entrepreneurs
NEW
YORK, Aug. 31,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Alibaba.com, a leading platform for
global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce and part of Alibaba
International Digital Commerce Group, will host its highly
anticipated Super September sale from September 1-30, 2023. This year's event promises
new features and benefits aimed at empowering digital entrepreneurs
to thrive in a complex global business landscape.
Low Pricing, Enhanced Trade Assurance and New Pavilion for
U.S. Buyers
To facilitate savings for buyers, over 70
million products will join this year's Super September, with
some listed at their lowest price on Aliababa.com from the last 90
days. In addition to this staple pricing guarantee, buyers will
enjoy money-back protection from the platform's Trade
Assurance service and easy refund service, which has been
extended from 30 days to 60 days for all Super September
products.
Alibaba.com will unveil its new "Certified in U.S." product
pavilion this Super September, which is specifically designed to
showcase products that adhere to U.S. standards and certifications,
including FDA, FCC, DOT, UL, UPC, OCS and ETL qualifications. By
offering a curated selection of products with these certifications,
Alibaba.com aims to help entrepreneurs save valuable time that
would otherwise be spent sifting through numerous options.
"We are excited to host the annual Super September sale and
launch a product pavilion dedicated to U.S. buyers," said
Stephen Kuo, President of
Alibaba.com North America. "As
2023 has brought rising operating costs for entrepreneurs across a
multitude of industries, Alibaba.com is proud to offer solid
savings and upgraded tools to help business owners execute their
product visions efficiently while keeping prices down."
Eco-conscious Buyers are Driving Demand
According to
Alibaba.com platform insights, sustainable products across a
multitude of industries experienced significant year-over-year
(YoY) increases in gross merchandise value (GMV) from the time
period May-July 2022 to
May-July 2023. Industries with
notable rises in sustainable product sales include:
1. Beauty and Accessories: Consumers are
paying closer attention to the ingredients and materials used in
their everyday beauty products, causing buyers and suppliers alike
to adapt to these trends. For example, plant fiber false eyelashes
experienced a 129% increase in GMV YoY on the Alibaba.com
platform.
2. Home and Garden: Demand for
environmentally-friendly and sustainable home products are on the
rise as consumers are more conscious of the items they bring into
their homes. This is especially true for kitchenware, as
biodegradable plates and utensils saw a 122% increase in GMV
YoY.
3. Building Materials: As forest resources across the
globe become increasingly depleted, buyers are looking for
alternatives to traditional wood resources. In fact, the GMV for
wood-plastic composite (WPC) wall panels, an alternative to
traditional wood wall panels with the same waterproof, fireproof
and weather-resistant properties, has increased 121% YoY.
4. Packaging and Printing: Buyers are looking to make
sustainable choices in every step of their product creation
journey. Starch-based degradable materials and PLA (Polylactic
Acid) have gradually become mainstream for plastic bags and courier
bags, with a 67% YoY GMV growth.
5. Diamond Mining: Traditional diamond mining causes
environmental damage and generates significant carbon emissions. As
a result, people are seeking alternative eco-friendly ways to
obtain diamonds. Cultivated diamonds have become a popular
alternative to traditional diamonds, experiencing a 35% increase in
GMV YoY.
Alibaba.com Co-Create 2023
In addition to Super
September, Alibaba.com will host its inaugural Co-Create
conference on September 7-8,
2023 in Las Vegas, NV. The
two-day event will bring together industry thought leaders,
suppliers and entrepreneurs and feature inspiring keynote sessions,
