In February, Alibaba made a strategic investment of RMB 13 billion on Easyhome with many institutions, which was another big deal after Ali has acquired Suning, taken RT-Mart and held more than 36% of the shares of Sun Art Retail. Those all revealed Alibaba’s ambition for the home industry.

This May, Jingdong held “Jingdong Service +” media communication meeting that it would set up a platform and system with strong management and control capacity based on the users’ demands and pain points existing in the daily consumption scenes in the home and house appliance industry to solve the service problems of the platform merchants and users.

Addition, it is said that Suning Appliance will turn to the storage and distribution links in the field of home building materials in the way of integrating the third-party logistics system, which shows that the Internet e-commerce platforms have successively started to arrange the home auxiliary material supply chain industry in China.

Ali and Jingdong shall arrange the home auxiliary material chain industry around the efficiency, storage and distribution capacity, engineering purchasing capacity and regional advantages, and the brand and storage and distribution advantages owned by Ali and Jingdong will certainly bring a new revolution to the home auxiliary material industry in China.
