About JQW plc
JQW is a leading domestic business-to-business e-commerce
provider based in the Chinese province of Jiangsu. The Group's core
business is its online B2B platform, www.jqw.com, which has been
developed to encourage domestic trade by connecting Chinese SMEs
with potential trade partners. Founded in 2004, the platform was
developed to help to market Chinese SME's websites. JQW has evolved
rapidly to become the second highest ranked B2B e-commerce website
in China in terms of traffic and operates, what the director's
believe to be, the first dedicated B2B search engine,
www.jqw.cn.
JQW offers a low-cost entry point for Chinese SMEs to promote
themselves and their B2B products to potential buyers. In order to
increase transaction opportunities, JQW offers its clients a broad
range of services including website design, commercial search
services and advertising.
There are approximately 49 million SMEs in China manufacturing a
diverse range of products, accounting for 60% of the country's GDP.
The number of mobile internet-access users in China stood at 839
million at February 2014 and there is a considerable amount being
invested into the country's telecommunications infrastructure.
These factors have driven an increased demand for domestic trade of
B2B, B2C and C2C e-commerce. With the majority of these SMEs
requiring the use of third party B2B e-commerce platforms to
promote their businesses and access trade partners, the Board
believes that JQW offers a robust and highly reputable branded
platform. With exposure in over 50 industry sectors and
considerable scope for future growth, JQW is in a strong position
to capitalise on the development of this market.
The Group recently has:
10 million Registered users
5 million Page views per day
1,046,000 Sheng-Yi-Tong members with website "shops"
238,000 Fee-paying members as of 31 October 2014
700 Rated in the top 700 websites for global website traffic rankings
42 Sales agencies
2 Second (behind Alibaba) in Chinese B2B website traffic rankings
