No. 1 ERP: BigSeller Philippines | Top 7 E-Commerce Platforms for Businesses in the Philippines 2024

 

According to our Free Southeast Asia #eCommerce Outlook, the Philippines is the third-largest eCommerce market in the region, generating US $22.95 billion in revenue. The market is experiencing impressive growth, with a 28% year-on-year increase. The country's relatively relaxed regulations on cross-border selling, low import taxes, and open attitude towards foreign brands present a significant opportunity for businesses looking to enter the Asian market.

This rapid growth has also intensified competition among B2C platforms. Three years ago, four major marketplaces controlled 90% of eCommerce traffic, but today, the landscape is diversifying as both local and international players compete for market share.

For businesses aiming to expand in the Philippines, understanding the leading multi-vendor marketplaces is crucial for their #eCommerce strategies. This ranking highlights the largest platforms in the country, based on traffic and app download data from January 2024, as provided by our #eCommerce Marketplace Monitoring Services for Southeast Asia. We will also examine some global marketplaces that, while not directly operating in the Philippines, remain popular among local consumers.

1. #ShopeePH

  • Monthly Visits (Web): 53.9M
  • Monthly App Downloads (Android): 3M

With upwards of 46% of the market share in The Philippines, Shopee stands as the king of B2C eCommerce in the country, with a lead of almost 30 million visits over Lazada. What's most impressive is how quickly Shopee has grown from its 2015 launch to challenging Lazada in almost every major SEA market. The Singaporean eCommerce giant began as a C2C platform but is now just as strongly associated with its B2C offerings in the minds of its many customers throughout Southeast Asia. Following a mobile-first strategy. It's no surprise that Shopee’s app is #1 on both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store for marketplace downloads.
