Alibaba’s AliExpress Warns Of Possible Coronavirus Delays

AliExpress, the global e-commerce platform of Chinese online shopping giant Alibaba, warned customers that there may be some delivery delays due to the coronavirus outbreak.

AliExpress is one of the most downloaded shopping apps globally, part of a growing e-commerce trend in which consumers worldwide buy goods such as mobile phones, vacuum cleaners and dresses directly from manufacturers mostly based in China.

Alibaba is pushing outside of China through units like AliExpress to compensate for slowing economic growth at home and rising competition from the likes of JD.com.
