1. Introduction

In the world of online shopping, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Amazon, the undisputed giant in e-commerce, recently announced that it is launching its own cheap platform. This news is causing a stir, especially as Amazon is directly targeting the up-and-coming Temu platform. But what does that mean for customers and the market?

Background 2: Temu's success

Temu, a platform that specializes in cheap products, has gained massive popularity in recent years. Their success is based on a mix of low prices, a wide range of products and targeted marketing campaigns. But how was Temu able to gain such a large market share in such a short period of time?

3. Amazon's Strategy: Introduction of a Cheap Platform

Amazon has recognized that the price war in online retail is becoming more intense. By introducing its own cheap platform, Amazon wants to further expand its position as market leader and appeal to new customer groups. This platform is intended to offer inexpensive products that are both convincing in terms of quality and are competitive in terms of price.

4. Comparison of platforms: Temu vs. Amazon

Both platforms offer affordable prices to their users, but they differ in their approach. While Temu focuses primarily on a minimalistic approach, Amazon uses its existing infrastructure and logistics to offer its customers a seamless shopping experience. But which platform has the better offer?

5. Potential effects on the market

Amazon's introduction of a cheap platform could have far-reaching consequences. Smaller providers could suffer from pricing pressure, while customers could benefit from lower prices. But what does this mean for the long-term development of the market?

6. Criticism and challenges

Despite the many advantages, there are also points of criticism. Amazon is often the focus of discussions about fair working conditions and market power. With the introduction of another platform, these topics could once again gain in importance. There is also the question of whether a cheap platform could impair the quality of the products.

7. The future of online discounters

The next few months will show how the introduction of the new platform affects the market. It is clear that competition in online retail will continue to increase. For consumers, this means one thing in particular: more choice and possibly lower prices.
