McKinsey's "2024 Global E-Commerce Expansion Report" indicates that independent websites that adopt a step-by-step expansion strategy have a three-fold higher success rate than aggressive expansion, while reducing trial-and-error costs by 60%. Research by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade shows that foreign trade companies that adopt a phased approach to overseas market development have an 85% three-year survival rate and enter an average of eight new markets. Analysis by the World E-Commerce Forum emphasizes that independent websites' advantages in data control, brand consistency, and operational flexibility make them the optimal vehicle for companies' globalization.

Three major misunderstandings about global expansion Three major misunderstandings about global expansion

1. Blind market selection

  • 75% of companies fail due to market misjudgment (China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products Case Library)
  • Cultural consumption differences are underestimated

2. Over-dispersion of resources

  • Entering multiple markets simultaneously led to a broken capital chain (a case of bankruptcy of a clothing brand)
  • Fragmentation of team energy

3. Standardized copy trap

  • The failure rate of directly transplanting domestic models is 90% (lessons learned by a home furnishing brand)
