What happened?
A report jointly released by Forbes China and Amazon Global Selling indicates that the average age of cross-border e-commerce entrepreneurs is trending younger. The new generation of sellers no longer solely relies on low-price strategies but instead establishes competitive barriers through technological innovation (such as 3D printing, AI applications) and brand-oriented operations in fields like furniture, home goods, and medical devices, transforming from 'selling goods' to 'brand building'. Compared to traditional sellers, these young enterprises invest more in product development, utilizing advanced technology to enhance added value and strengthen market competitiveness. Due to the changing market dynamics, higher demands are placed on sellers' operational strategies, emphasizing the importance of long-term value and brand establishment.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers should reduce their reliance on low-price distribution models and enhance product premium space through technological innovation or market segmentation differentiation. This shift means that sellers need to prioritize brand building; focusing solely on price competition poses the risk of losing market share.
