Basic situation of Shopee's seven major sites

1. Taiwan and Malaysia sites:

The preferred site for entering Shopee is also the two most mature, most ordered, and easiest to place orders on Shopee. The Taiwan site has the highest average order value, with a logistics time of about 5 days, and can communicate directly in Chinese; the consumption power of the Malaysian people is also good, with a time of about 7-10 days, and mainly communicate in English.

However, since these two sites are the preferred sites, they are also the sites with the most Chinese sellers and the most concentrated, and the price war is very fierce.

2. Indonesia and Thailand sites:

Currently, these are the fastest growing sites on Shopee, and they will be the first and second largest markets for Southeast Asian e-commerce in the future.

However, these two sites are in countries with small languages, and cannot communicate directly in English. Although Shopee officially provides customer service and translation services for hot-selling products, the efficiency is currently slow.

3. Philippines and Vietnam sites:

The second and third most populous countries in Southeast Asia, with huge market potential. The Philippines site is relatively complete, it is not difficult to place orders, and you can communicate directly in English. The Vietnam site is a country with a small language, and you cannot communicate directly in English, but the Vietnam site has the highest conversion rate.

4. Singapore site:

There are many Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and English. The e-commerce construction is also the best in Southeast Asia, and the logistics timeliness is also fast, but the market is relatively small.
