Alibaba.com,
a leading platform for global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce, today
announced the launch of its new Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package in Pakistan.
This new, affordable membership program aims to allow Pakistan small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to tap into the vast global market with ease.
The launch comes as local SMEs increasingly embrace digitalization, with a
remarkable 88% surge in the number of sellers joining Alibaba.com in July 2024
compared to the same period last year.
Pakistan’s
digital ecosystem is currently experiencing a significant growth. According to
a report by Statista, Pakistan’s e-commerce market is projected to reach
approximately PKR 1.4 trillion (around US$50 billion) by 20241 and the number
of e-commerce users is expected to amount to 14 million users by 2029. This
digital adoption, coupled with strong smartphone usage, has created fertile
grounds for e-commerce businesses to thrive. SMEs are at the forefront of this
digital revolution, recognizing the immense potential of online platforms to
reach a global audience and expand their reach beyond domestic markets.
Alibaba.com’s new Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package aims to help SMEs capitalize on the growing trend of digitalization. With its more affordable pricing and offering of a curated yet essential set of advanced digital tools designed specifically for global trade, the Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package significantly lowers entry barriers and equips Pakistan businesses with little or no online export experience to effectively unlock opportunities in global trade.
“Pakistan’s e-commerce landscape is experiencing phenomenal growth, with SMEs playing a crucial role in driving this digital transformation,” said Rocky Lu, Head of Pakistan Business at Alibaba.com. “Alibaba.com is firmly committed to supporting Pakistan SMEs’ success in the digital age, and the Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package is a continuation of this commitment. Introduced with new and aspiring exporters in mind, the Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package is a more affordable version of our regular Global Gold Supplier service, allowing SMEs to test the waters and enter the global B2B market without significant upfront investment while enjoying access to some of the latest digital tools they need to thrive in the global marketplace.”
The Global Gold Supplier-Lite Package streamlines various aspects of online B2B commerce and allows Pakistan SMEs to focus on growth by offering the following features:
· Simplified Tasks & Extra Exposure: The platform guides
GGS-Lite members on their Alibaba.com journey by assigning beginner-friendly
tasks that help them unlock opportunities for increased visibility.
