AliExpress, an online retail service under the Alibaba Group, originated in China in 2010. Comprising small businesses primarily from China and other places like Singapore, it serves as a platform for these businesses to offer products to global online buyers. AliExpress has gained immense popularity, being the most visited e-commerce website in Russia and ranking as the 10th most popular website in Brazil. Drawing comparisons to eBay, AliExpress facilitates independent sellers in reaching customers worldwide through its platform.
