Marketplaces: a dynamic opportunity for both financial and
strategic investors
We are pleased to present our views on the European marketplace landscape, doing so with
the aim of helping increase transparency and communication between the marketplaces
themselves, as well as financial and strategic investors
Key considerations for financial investors
§ While FinTech dominated European investment in 2016, marketplaces placed fourth in
amount invested and second in number of deals
§ Marketplaces remain an attractive sector for investors due to barriers of entry, healthy
margins, and proven business models across markets
§ Large strategic players such as Amazon, Rakuten, and Zalando represent viable exits, as
they will continue to look for M&A opportunities to gain market share
Key considerations for strategic investors
§ New marketplaces are emerging in mobile format, which could complement a company’s
strategic shift from web to mobile and disrupt existing players
§ Innovative marketplaces are emerging across a wide range of industries, representing an
opportunity to expand market share through addressing specialty / niche markets
§ Large marketplaces can build on network effects through M&A expansion, and achieve
attractive margins due to barriers to entry

Marketplaces follow a no-inventory, inventory-led, or hybrid
business model
Description:
Marketplace Model
§ Maintains no inventory
§ The marketplace acts as a
meeting ground for buyers
and sellers without storing
goods
§ The marketplace offers
shipping and payment
assistance by tying up with
selected logistics players and
financial partners
Inventory-Led Model
§ The company sources directly
from brands and sellers and
stocks the merchandise
§ There are no multiple sellers
selling one product, unlike
marketplaces
§ The seller is the company and
invoice is issued to the
customers on the company’s
name
Hybrid Model
§ A mix of marketplace and
inventory-led model, also
called a “managed
marketplace” model
§ The marketplace offers
inventory storage, packaging,
and delivering services, but a
seller is free to choose self-
fulfillment or marketplace-
fulfilment
Examples:
Cons: X Difficult to conduct quality
check
X Higher shipping costs
X Difficult to build customer’s
trust and loyalty
X Difficult to scale
X High fixed costs
X Restricted cash flow
Pros: ü Highly scalable
ü Wide product portfolio and
large number of sellers
ü Investor friendly model
ü Speedier delivery
ü Better quality control – seller
and product
ü Best customer experience
and trust

Amazon and Alibaba in Europe: not as dominant as in the US or Asia
Source: Internet Retailer, CNBC, Citi, Press Releases 13
§ The European market differs from other regions in that there is not a large dominant marketplace such as Amazon in the US or Alibaba in
Asia
− Instead, some countries within Europe have their own go-to marketplaces such as Allegro in Poland, Bol.com in Belgium, and
Cdiscount in France
§ Amazon, eBay, and Rakuten each operate various marketplaces within Europe, e.g. Amazon has five European country-specific
marketplaces in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain
Competitive landscape of large marketplaces in Europe
§ Alibaba’s presence in Europe is relatively weak, and the
company has not made significant developments
− Alibaba started building its presence in Europe as early as
2015 when it announced the opening of its London offices.
− Late last year, Alibaba opened its first warehouse in the UK
− Earlier this year, the company announced plans of setting
up a logistics center in Bulgaria
§ Alibaba’s expansion strategy in Europe focus on servicing
businesses instead of becoming a consumer brand
− The company’s expansion plan is tied to helping Chinese
businesses expand outside of China
− Alibaba’s brand recognition in Europe is still fairly low, and
the company is initially targeting Chinese companies
looking to expand to Europe
− Alibaba’s brand building strategy focuses on being an
ecommerce partner for businesses that breaks down the
trading boundaries between Europe and China
§ International sales accounted for ~30% of Amazon's total
revenue in 2016, with Germany and the UK accounting for more
than 17% of its total sales or $23bn
§ Amazon's expansion strategy in Europe focuses focuses on
growing its same day (Prime) and 2-hour (Prime Now) delivery
services through investments in logistics and delivery
infrastructure
− Amazon has significantly expanded its warehouse
presence in Europe, now reaching countries as far as
Romania and Turkey
− Prime Now is now available in 9 UK cities and 6 European
cities
− Amazon delivers to over 50 countries in Europe and has
made its Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) delivery eligible in 26
countries
§ The company announced an investment of $550m in Italy last
year, and plans to open 1,300 new warehouses in the region
