Shein reported $23 billion in sales in 2022 and a $66 billion valuation. The marketplace concept has helped Shein flourish by allowing third-party sellers to sell a wide range of products to clients. This method has increased revenue, sped up delivery, and attracted new customers without manufacturing or inventory management.
Shein launched in Brazil and the US recently. Nearly $100 million in monthly goods sales and 6,000 active vendors make up over one-third of Brazil’s gross retail value. The company will launch marketplaces in Mexico, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy to expand globally.
