ALIBABA.COM

Despite its domination of the Chinese internet market, the company has not
yet replicated that success on a global scale. But its flotation on the New
York Stock Exchange, expected next week, could change all that and the
brand could end up alongside Facebook, Amazon and eBay as a giant of the
online world.

The company's first business was alibaba.com set up by the company's

founder Jack Ma in 1999. The website helps to connect exporters in China
(and other countries) with companies in over 190 countries around the world.
The system allows a business in the UK to find a manufacturer in China and
have a range of goods produced and shipped.
Alibaba's growth in its core business has allowed it to expand into new areas.
It recently bought a controlling stake in a film business and 50% of China's
most successful football club, Guangzhou Evergrande.
Finally, and possibly most significantly, it has plans to enter the banking
industry.

WHY HAS IT BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL?

Alibaba's growth from a start-up employing 18 people in 1999 to a worldwide
company employing 22,000 is down to its ability to harness the world of
internet commerce. It accounts for 80% of all online retail sales in China.

China now has over 600 million internet users, out of a population of 1.3
billion people. That compares with 277 million internet users in the US and
546 million in Europe.

Alibaba

has

used

that rapidly

increasing

online

market

to

pioneer

smartphone technology in the country, and now controls over 75% of all

mobile retail in China. The research firm Forrester estimates that the number
of smartphones in China will grow to 740 million by 2017. And the good news
for Alibaba is that consumers are increasingly choosing to shop with their
phones.
According to the Internet Society of China, online mobile payment
transactions are expected to exceed $1.45 trillion (800bn) by 2015.

HOW DOES ALIBABA MAKE MONEY

Unlike eBay, Alibaba does not charge listing fees. Instead it makes most of its
revenue from advertising on its various sites. According to its latest filing
with US regulators, 279 million active buyers and 8.5 million active sellers
use Alibaba's online services every year and 14.5 billion annual orders are
made. So it's not hard to see why advertisers find the websites so appealing.
As the company simply connects customers and businesses charging only a
small commission, it does not need huge amounts of infrastructure to make
the system work.

TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS

platforms for Members to place, accept, conclude, manage and fulfill
orders for the provision of products and services online within the Sites
