# Top 50 online marketplaces in China

Tamtam tracks 55 online marketplaces headquartered in China. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Alibaba Group, ByteDance and Meituan. Their median headcount is 1,090. Half of them were founded in 2011 or later. The most common headquarters are Beijing (13), Shanghai (9) and Hangzhou (5).

These Chinese online marketplaces are predominantly large technology companies, many founded in the 2000s and early 2010s. They specialize in software development and internet services, covering a broad spectrum of digital commerce. Alibaba Group leads with its AI, cloud, and e-commerce infrastructure, while ByteDance incubates global platforms for content and commerce. Meituan focuses on digital retail upgrades, and JD.COM provides extensive e-commerce, logistics, and tech services.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in major Chinese cities. Beijing is a significant hub, housing companies like JD.COM, Kuaishou Technology, and 58.com. Hangzhou is another key location, home to Alibaba Group and Alibaba.com, while Shanghai hosts Trip.com Group and Xiaohongshu.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
