What happened
Singles' Day, or Double 11, remains one of the world's largest retail events, prompting overseas brands to adjust their supply chains and product launches to target the Chinese market. During this year's event, major e-commerce platforms expanded their offerings beyond traditional consumer goods, giving greater prominence to services. Service retail sales grew 4 percentage points faster than goods retail sales in the first three quarters of the year.
