Sell on Kaola.com

Kaola is another popular Chinese e-commerce platform that deals with cross-border trade, mainly of Western goods. The name of the marketplace "考拉" literally translates from Chinese as “koala”. The reason is that initially the target audience of the site were companies from Australia who wanted to start selling their goods in China. But as the marketplace developed Kaola has turned into a full-fledged competitor of such market giants as Tmall and JD, and has already reached almost 30 million registered users.

The platform was created in 2015 by the Chinese technology company NetEase, the creator of the popular music streaming application – WangYi. However, in 2019, when Alibaba Group announced the purchase of the platform for $ 2 billion, the owner changed.

Kaola controls 21.4% of the market among the sites for cross-border trade, Tmall controls 17.7%. Keep in mind that these numbers are related to cross-border trade. Tmall and JD still occupy leading positions in the market of conventional e-commerce platforms.
