Taobao.com (81.5%), Dangdang.com (16.6%) , Joyo.com (13.6%) are by far the largest market shareholders in China C2C marketplace. The findings was revealed by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) recent survey, which covered 19 key cities in China for the first six months of 2008.
CNNIC conceived that Taobao.com was still taking the lead in the market and would not be replaced by its competitors in a short time.
On the whole, the user penetration rate of Taobao.com was higher than that of the website ranking the second by nearly 65%. Taobao.com has formed certain scale effect and it is very difficulty for its first place ranking to be surpassed by another website in a short time.
At the five-year anniverary ceremony, Alibaba (1688) group’s Chairman and Non-Executive Director Jack Ma stated that the China internet company had planned to invest RMB 2 billion in the next five year.
The huge amount is the third and largest investment from Alibaba (1688) since the establishment of Taobao.com, far exceeding the 1.45 billion yuan it received from its parent starting from 2003.
Taobao.com is currently the nation’s dominant online retailer with 67 million registered accounts. About 10 million customers visit Taobao daily.
In the meantime, Joyo.com is picking up its speed and has reached the top ranking in B2C marketplace. Joyo.com was owned by Amazon.com

Kelikuru.com is 嘰哩咕嚕, a Chinese term basically means rumbling. The idea comes across TG's mind while watching a cartoon show on TV few years ago. We walk through our life,day by day ; speak to many people, known or unknown, year after year and we may not notice that there are so many wonderful things passing by. Writing a blog can literally leave my foot-prints in the internet world, help me keep the memory. At this moment, a big chunk of my life is closely aligned with user-centric design, user research, web-based environment both in Hong Kong and China. Perhaps I may not be like that tomorrow, I may be in other setting, have nothing to do with usability, but who knows what's going to happen next?
