JD.com reported its transaction volume has reached a record RMB 159.8 billion (approximately US$23 billion) from November 1-11, during Singles Day Shopping Festival – the first in which the e-commerce giant worked closely with brick-and-mortar retail partners.

This year shoppers flocked to JD.com for the broad range of goods available in virtually every category. For example, during the sales period, global brands such as Apple, Dell, Dyson, L’Oréal, SK-II, Pampers, and many others saw impressive sales performance.

During the period, JD sold more than 400 million items offered by its Fast Moving Consumer Goods and Foods business group. The amount of imported fresh food sold doubled versus the same period last year, with customers buying more than 29,500 tons of items such as meat, vegetables, fruit, and seafood, including some 12 tons of live Canadian lobsters. Premium smartphones from domestic and international brands were once again popular, with some brands seeing sales double compared with the same period last year. Customers also purchased more than 25 million products from the home and life category, which includes home furnishings, cookware, decorative products, and many other related items.
