Walmart Embraces Amazon MCF: A New Era of Cross-Platform Fulfillment for eCommerce
Walmart Embraces Amazon MCF: A New Era of Cross-Platform Fulfillment for eCommerce
Traditional purchase funnel is collapsing under the weight of algorithm-driven discovery and impulse-led buying mechanisms. Why? Today’s consumers don’t just buy things; they engage with them. Nearly 80% of Gen Z consumers now purchase through emerging marketplaces and social platforms (Insider Intelligence, 2024). 66% of global shoppers expect discounts before committing to a purchase (PwC, 2023).
So, what do eCommerce, inflation, and TikTok’s For You Page have in common? They’re all contributing to a new wave of shopping behavior—one that succeeds on affordability, entertainment, and convenience. As rising costs push over 60% of U.S. consumers to hunt for budget-friendly alternatives (McKinsey & Co., 2024), platforms like SHEIN, Temu, and TikTok Shop are capitalizing on this shift by reinventing the retail experience. These emerging Chinese marketplaces aren’t just challenging traditional marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart; they’re reshaping how consumers interact with commerce itself. By combining subsidized pricing, real-time demand forecasting, and algorithm-driven virality, they’ve created ecosystems where affordability meets entertainment, and where discovery instantly converts into sales.
Ignoring these retail disruptors means missing out on unprecedented growth opportunities:
Did You Know?
The U.S. just doubled tariffs on Chinese imports, from 10% to 20%, but Temu & Shein? They’re still untouchable. Why? The de minimis exemption (duty-free for imports under $800) is still in place. That means while most sellers importing in bulk will pay higher duties, these platforms can ship small parcels tax-free, keeping prices ultra-low.
Did You Know?
SHEIN has recently topped the PYMNTS shopping app rankings, outpacing giants like Amazon and Walmart. This milestone highlights a consumer shift toward affordable, trend-centric fashion and intuitive mobile shopping experiences.
The rise of these emerging marketplaces isn’t just because of ‘dumping Chinese products’ into Western markets. It’s about redefining their roles and offering value-oriented channels for eCommerce sellers already selling on Amazon, Walmart, and beyond.
eCommerce is evolving fast, and these Chinese Marketplaces aren’t just growing platforms, they’re profit machines for sellers who act NOW.
