Online shopping has made daily life more convenient by bringing the world’s manufactured goods and services to the individual with a few taps of the smartphone. Temu (pronounced tee-moo), a leading provider of affordable quality merchandise, is spearheading the move into a new era of e-commerce characterized by consumer-initiated demand and just-in-time production.
“Temu is positioning itself at the forefront of the next era of e-commerce, which we believe will move beyond disintermediating or optimizing the manufacturing supply chain, into matching individualized needs and wants with global resources and delivering them efficiently,” said a Temu spokesman. “This shift will lead to the creation of legions of new businesses, and Temu is prepared to support and enable them.”
Temu has rapidly gained a following since its launch in September 2022, attracting savvy consumers who value its wide selection of well-made products at affordable prices. Its name is derived from an abbreviation of the phrase “Team Up, Price Down,” a reference to the company’s operating philosophy of creating a winning environment for buyers and sellers by using economies of scale to drive down costs for consumers to near wholesale prices.
Another important difference that sets Temu apart is its pure marketplace model, which means it does not own or invest in brands and hence does not compete against sellers on its own platform.
Temu benefits from the backing of its parent company, PDD Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed multinational commerce group with extensive experience in e-commerce and logistics. Temu has leveraged PDD Holdings’ know-how and network of more than 11 million suppliers to provide innovative, affordable, and reliable services.
On Temu, customers will find thousands of new products across 29 major categories and more than 250 sub-categories. Shortly after its launch, the Temu app became one of the most downloaded apps on major app stores. Customers have praised the platform for its value-for-money products, reliable deliveries and responsive after-sales customer care.
Temu’s goal is to create long-term value for consumers. The company will work closely with manufacturers to help them reduce the guesswork in product development, enabling them to create valuable products consumers want and need.
