JD.com

JD.com operates a multi‑segment commerce and technology business. The core retail unit buys inventory and sells physical goods directly to consumers, capturing retail margin. Alongside this, it runs a third‑party marketplace where external merchants list products and pay commissions, fulfilment fees and marketing/advertising fees. Its logistics arm provides warehousing, transportation, last‑mile delivery and cold‑chain services both to internal retail units and to external business customers on a fee‑for‑service basis.

Complementing commerce and logistics, JD.com’s technology business sells cloud computing, AI, data analytics and IoT solutions, typically via enterprise contracts and professional services engagements. The healthcare unit combines online pharmacy retail with telemedicine and other health services, earning margin on product sales and fees for healthcare services and solutions. International and cross‑border platforms enable foreign brands to access Chinese consumers, generating additional import, logistics and marketplace revenues. The result is a diversified model blending retail margin, transaction and service fees, technology contracts and subscriptions.
