Temu

Temu is a global e-commerce platform launched in 2022 by PDD Holdings, the parent company of Chinese retail giant Pinduoduo. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Temu connects consumers directly to global manufacturers, offering a vast range of affordable products spanning fashion, home goods, electronics, beauty, and more.

The platform operates on a factory-to-consumer (F2C) model, eliminating middlemen to provide highly competitive prices. Temu quickly gained popularity for its extensive product variety, frequent discounts, and free global shipping options. Its mobile app, available in multiple languages and regions, provides users with an engaging, gamified shopping experience similar to social commerce platforms.

Despite being relatively new, Temu has become one of the most downloaded shopping apps worldwide, reflecting its rapid growth and global appeal.
