Dingdong (Cayman) Limited

DDL

We are a leading and the fastest growing on-demand e-commerce company in China, according to China Insights Consultancy, or CIC. We directly provide users and households with fresh produce, meat and seafood and other daily necessities through a convenient and excellent shopping experience supported by an extensive self-operated frontline fulfillment grid. With fresh groceries as our core product categories, we have successfully expanded to providing other daily necessities to grow into a leading one-stop online shopping destination in China for consumers to make purchases for their daily lives. At the same time, we are working to modernize China’s traditional agricultural supply chain through standardization and digitalization, empowering upstream farms and suppliers to make their production more efficient and tailored to actual demand.

Our total revenues has grown from RMB3,880.1 million in 2019 to RMB11,335.8 million (US$1,730.2 million) in 2020, driven by the robust growth in our GMV. Our market share in the on-demand e-commerce industry as measured by GMV was 10.1% in 2020, according to CIC, and our total GMV has grown from RMB741.7 million in 2018 to RMB13,032.2 million (US$1,989.1 million) in 2020, representing a CAGR of 319.2%. This growth rate ranked first among the top five on-demand e-commerce platforms in China and significantly outpaced the overall market size growth rate of 114.6% during the same period. In addition, in 2020, we ranked first by GMV among our competitors in the Yangtze River Delta megalopolis, which contributed approximately 24% of China’s total GDP in 2020, while also successfully penetrating into other regions across China.

With the increasing trend of consumption upgrading in China, being able to conveniently purchase quality products online has become increasingly important to consumers across China’s geographic and wealth spectrum. We believe that consumers naturally seek product quality, speedy delivery and product variety at attractive prices. However, China’s traditional agricultural industry is characterized by highly fragmented upstream farm sources and redundant supply chain intermediaries, resulting in higher prices and lower assurance in supply and quality. In addition, the perishable nature of fresh groceries makes the ability of fulfillment channels to reliably and expediently deliver products particularly important. Furthermore, Chinese cuisine tends to require a plethora of ingredients to be cooked to satisfaction, which requires a broad selection of complementary SKUs from any seller.
