Alibaba Group

Alibaba Group’s mission is to make it easy to do business anywhere.

We enable businesses to transform the way they market, sell and operate and improve their efficiencies. We provide the technology infrastructure and marketing reach to help merchants, brands, retailers and other businesses to leverage the power of new technology to engage with their users and customers and operate in a more efficient way.

Our businesses are comprised of commerce, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, and innovation initiatives. In addition, Ant Group, an unconsolidated related party, provides digital payment services and offers digital financial services to consumers and merchants and other businesses on our platforms. An ecosystem has developed around our platforms and businesses that consists of consumers, merchants, brands, retailers, third-party service providers, strategic alliance partners and other businesses.

GMV transacted in the Alibaba Ecosystem was RMB8,119 billion for fiscal year 2021, which mainly included GMV transacted through our China retail marketplaces, as well as GMV transacted through our international retail marketplaces and Local Consumer Services. Annual active consumers of the Alibaba Ecosystem across the world reached approximately 1.18 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, 2021. This includes 912 million consumers in China and 265 million consumers overseas served by Lazada, AliExpress, Trendyol and Daraz.

Our Vision

We do not pursue size or power; we aspire to be a good company that will last for 102 years. We aim to build the future infrastructure of commerce. We envision that our customers will meet, work and live at Alibaba.

102 Years

For a company that was founded in 1999, lasting 102 years means we will have spanned three centuries, an achievement that few companies can claim. Our culture, business models and systems are built to last, so that we can achieve sustainability in the long run. Alibaba’s ultimate goal is to create value for society and help find solutions for society’s challenges. We want to convert Alibaba’s resources into fuel for small and medium businesses, which will in turn support the advancement of the whole society.

We empower our customers with the fundamental infrastructure for commerce and new technology, so that they can build businesses and create value that can be shared among our ecosystem participants.

Live @ Alibaba

We strive to expand our products and services to become central to the everyday lives of our customers.

As we continue to expand our businesses from commerce to cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, among other sectors, Alibaba has evolved into an ecosystem that is unique, energetic and innovative. We have set medium-term goals for fiscal year 2024: continue to expand our globalization efforts, serve more than 1 billion consumers through our China consumer business, and facilitate more than RMB10 trillion of annual consumption on our platforms. We believe the goals for fiscal year 2024 put us closer to achieving our vision for fiscal year 2036: serve 2 billion global consumers, enable 10 million businesses to be profitable and create 100 million jobs.
