IPO Activity

Global Market Group Ltd  plans for Initial Public OfferingCompany Snapshot:

A leading business-to-business, or B2B, e-commerce service provider

Industry Snapshot (Per Filing)

  • The fast growth of China’s export market has contributed significantly to China’s economic growth. According to the iResearch Report, there were approximately 10 million suppliers of made-in-China products in 2010. Such suppliers include direct manufacturers, trading companies, domestic trade companies and wholesalers. Out of this large number of suppliers, approximately 130,000 manufacturers accounted for approximately 92.2% of China’s total export sales volume in 2009. Most of these manufacturers are large and medium-sized manufacturers, who typically own production facilities, export their products, had annual export sales volume exceeding US$2.5 million, and have experience in export trade. We believe they are the key driver for the growth of China’s export market.
  • The B2B e-commerce market in China has grown significantly as the Internet has gained increasing acceptance in China. Many manufacturers in China choose to join a respected B2B e-commerce community to gain brand recognition and to attract reputable buyers. B2B e-commerce platforms that focus on high-quality manufacturers take active measures to verify the information listed on their websites about manufacturers. Operators of these platforms also typically have extensive knowledge about the industry verticals in which they are involved and utilize such knowledge to help buyers and manufacturers conduct business more efficiently. Furthermore, the number of manufactures in China who pay subscription fees or make other payments to use third-party B2B e-commerce platforms is also increasing. According to the iResearch Report, the number of small and medium size enterprises in China paying to use third-party B2B e-commerce platforms increased from approximately 0.8 million in 2008 to approximately 1.0 million in 2009, representing an increase of 25.0%, and is expected to further increase to approximately 5.4 million in 2014, representing a CAGR of 40.1% from 2009
