Amazon will launch a Temu, Shein, and AliExpress competitor featuring low-price items shipped directly from China. Amazon’s main quest remains Prime, but it has accepted a new side quest.

Amazon will launch a separate section inside the Amazon app and website for low-priced, slow-shipping items. They will ship from warehouses in China directly to shoppers in the U.S., giving up fast delivery for significantly lower prices. On Wednesday, Amazon hosted select sellers in Shenzhen in an invite-only event to present the idea of a new marketplace model. Subsequently, a few sellers leaked the presentation materials. According to the presentation, the new marketplace will offer unbranded fashion, home goods, and daily necessities at under $20 and lighter than one pound.

Meanwhile, Temu, Shein, and AliExpress have bet — correctly — that a segment of customers are willing to pay less and wait longer to receive certain shipments. Estimates put the combined global sales of Temu, Shein, and AliExpress at nearly $200 billion this year. The supply chain integration at the source has allowed them to offer reliability, consistency, and speed unseen on early attempts by eBay, Wish, and AliExpress, where items would take weeks to deliver and sometimes would fail to show up. A year ago, Amazon said Temu didn’t meet its standards and was thus excluded from the fair pricing policy, but today, Temu has forced its hand.

Amazon launched in South Africa on May 7th, 2024. The marketplace is Amazon’s first in sub-Saharan Africa, bringing the total number of active markets to 22.

The launch in South Africa is over a year late, delayed by changing priorities inside of Amazon. After six years with at least one new market launched, 2023 was the first year with no global expansion. Before South Africa, Belgium was the last new marketplace in October 2022. Its rollout in the previously planned Colombia, Chile, and Nigeria appears paused. South Africa and Nigeria are the two largest e-commerce markets in sub-Saharan Africa.
