For Tuke, 2023 was a year full of ups and downs. Throughout the year, the overseas market was filled with both opportunities and challenges. Below is a summary of Tuke’s major events during the year.

January, Tuke Shop opened applications for the food and grocery category, providing new sales channels for brands and merchants. This change marked Tuke’s entry into the e-commerce sector and further integrated the commercial ecosystem on its platform.

February, Tuke officially launched the Tuke Shop Mall in Thailand and the Philippines, offering users a one-stop shopping platform. This move not only made shopping more convenient for users but also further promoted Tuke’s commercialization process.

March, The White House called for a ban on installing the overseas version of Tuke, sparking widespread controversy and attention. Despite facing political pressure, Tuke continued to adhere to its globalization strategy and expand in overseas markets.

April, Tuke Shop in the US was fully opened, giving American brands and merchants the opportunity to sell products directly on the platform. This change further advanced Tuke’s e-commerce process and strengthened cooperation with local businesses.

May, Tuke launched a fully managed model, providing merchants with more comprehensive e-commerce solutions. This model aims to help merchants better manage inventory, orders, and customer relationships, improving sales efficiency and customer satisfaction.

June, Tuke Shop in Vietnam surpassed Lazada to become the second largest e-commerce platform. This achievement marked Tuke’s success in the Southeast Asian market and provided a solid foundation for future expansion.

July, The growth of Tuke Shop in the US reached an astonishing 20 times, showing the platform’s huge potential and appeal in the US market.

August, To further expand its influence in the Southeast Asian market, Tuke Shop lowered the entry threshold, providing more opportunities for brands and merchants. This move helps enhance the platform’s diversity and inclusiveness, attracting more users and traffic.

September, Tuke faced a comprehensive ban in Indonesia. Nevertheless, the platform responded quickly to the challenge and sought new development opportunities.

October, Indonesia took down the e-commerce function, which undoubtedly affected Tuke’s business in the country. However, Tuke did not give up and actively sought solutions to maintain its connection and interaction with local users.

November, Nepal announced a ban on the use of the Tuke app, citing that the app was undermining family structures and social relationships. This decision had a certain impact on the platform’s influence in the region. However, Tuke continued to expand and grow in other overseas markets.

December, Indonesia announced a $1.5 billion investment to restart the e-commerce market, providing new development opportunities for e-commerce platforms including Tuke. This investment plan will help promote the overall development of Indonesia’s e-commerce industry and offer more possibilities for Tuke’s growth in the country.

Looking back at the whole year of 2023, Tuke faced various changes and challenges in overseas markets, but the Tuke platform continued to grow globally by constantly adjusting its strategies and layout, relying on its innovation and adaptability.

It is like a pioneer overseas, constantly seeking new possibilities and development methods for merchants going abroad.

Although the future is still full of uncertainties, it is believed that as long as Tuke continues to work hard and move forward, it will surely become the world’s leading social e-commerce platform, sheltering overseas merchants from the wind and rain.
