DHgate Launched New Sourcing Tools and Celebrated Anniversary Sale

E-commerce platform DHgate launched DHgate Sourcing Connect (D.S.C) in September 2021, a service designed to assist buyers in sourcing new products and identifying low-cost, high-profit items for their online businesses. Selected buyers were invited to gain first-hand access to the latest products directly from manufacturers through exclusive live broadcasts. These broadcasts offered benefits such as product discounts, coupons, product samples, and 3-day delivery from local warehouses.

Additionally, DHgate celebrated its 17th anniversary with a successful major sale event. The most popular product categories during the anniversary sale included toys and gifts, home and garden, phones and accessories, and lighting products, all of which saw a gross merchandise value increase exceeding 30 percent. Categories such as sportswear and outdoor equipment, kitchen & cooking, menswear, and phone accessories experienced average growth rates surpassing 50 percent.

The sale saw significant activity from shoppers in the US, UK, and Canada. Gross merchandise value doubled in the Indian and Swedish markets respectively. The company also noted potential longer delivery times for UK consumers due to ongoing logistics challenges. DHgate continued its partnership with Xcommerces Gateway to enhance services for US VIP buyers through product analytics and sourcing methods.
