The Middle East is an emerging market that AliExpress has focused on this year. Due to the huge freight difference between cross-border air shipments and ocean shipments in the Middle East, overseas warehouses can effectively reduce logistics costs by more than 20 % on average. In August last year, AliExpress and Cainiao opened the first official overseas warehouse in the Middle East in Israel. The newly opened UAE warehouse is another assist in expanding the Middle East market.

This year, AliExpress has continued to increase its investment in the Korean market, with the number of orders in May increasing by more than 100 % year-on-year . In order to handle the surge in orders, on the eve of the overseas 6.18 shopping festival , AliExpress expanded the capacity of the two preferred warehouses in Weihai and Yantai for the Korean market, with a total expansion of more than 30,000 square meters , covering all managed and self-operated merchants, to ensure the warehouse capacity for the big promotion and the logistics efficiency of 3-5 days .

AliExpress has been strengthening its supply chain capabilities, and this year it has made improving delivery time a top priority. In May, AliExpress opened five official warehouses in China, including two global central warehouses that were used for the first time; at the same time, it launched an overseas warehouse trusteeship model, and fully managed products can be stocked in overseas warehouses in the three countries of Spain, France and Poland, greatly improving the competitiveness of products.
