In March 2016, Lazada also claimed that it managed to achieve a turnover of up to USD 1.36 billion in 6 Asian markets. Of course this makes Lazada the largest e-commerce.

Lazada’s business model is a marketplace or online buying and selling site. They bring together buyers and sellers on one platform so that they can transact, market products through their website or application.

In April 2016, Alibaba Group purchased Lazada shares to support Alibaba’s international expansion plans. Until now, Lazada has become a giant e-commerce in Indonesia alongside Tokopedia, Shopee, to Bukalapak.

Lazada History

Lazada Group was founded on March 27, 2012 by Rocket Internet with the aim of building Amazon.com’s business model in Southeast Asia. Lazada’s goal was to take advantage of the nascent online consumer market.

This is also supported by the weak presence of Amazon in ASEAN. While Rocket Internet itself is a German incubator that builds companies by imitating the business model of the US technology company, Amazon.

The Lazada website was also launched in the same year. Also in 2012 until early 2013 Lazada received investment injections in 4 funding rounds. At that time the investors consisted of JP Morgan, Kinnevik, Summit Partners, Tangelmann, and others.

In June 2013, Lazada announced that it had raised an additional USD 100 million and launched a mobile app for Android and iOS. In December 2013, they added USD 250 million from Tesco PLC, Access Industries and other investors.

Right in May 2014, Lazada was launched in Singapore, then in November of the same year Emasek Holdings in Singapore led a USD 250 million funding round so that Lazada’s total valuation has increased to around USD 647 million.

Two years later, in April 2016, Alibaba Group announced that it had successfully acquired a controlling stake in Lazada for a fee of USD 500 million. Alibaba Group also bought shares worth USD 500 million from existing investors.

The reason Alibaba acquired Lazada was because the market in Southeast Asia has a growing middle-income population. It is also estimated that at that time there were around 190 million people in the region with disposable incomes of USD 16-100 per day.
