上个月我的朋友小李在拼多多上买了个电饭煲，只花了59元，还包邮。收到货后，他惊讶地发现这电饭煲做工和功能都挺不错，跟他之前在实体店 看到的二三百元的差不多。"这商家是怎么做到的？不会亏本卖吧？"他问我。这个问题勾起了我的好奇心，于是我开始了一番深入调查。 在电商平台迅猛发展的今天，低价已经成为拼多多的鲜明标签。从几元钱的日用品到几十元的电子产品，再到几百元的家用电器，很多商品的价格 低得让人难以置信。不少消费者心里都有同样的疑问：这么便宜，商家真的不会亏钱吗？ 根据2025年第一季度《中国电商平台价格比较研究报告》显示，拼多多平台上的商品平均价格比其他主流电商平台低32.7%，某些品类的价格差距甚 至超过50%。同时，《2025年中国消费者网购行为分析》数据表明，有76.3%的消费者选择在拼多多购物的首要原因是"价格便宜"。 《2025年电商平台订单量分析报告》数据显示，拼多多平台单个商品的平均日订单量是其他主流电商平台的2.6倍。这种高频次、大批量的销售模 式，使得商家能够以更低的单位成本获取商品，从而在保证利润的同时提供更具竞争力的价格。 低价策略确实为拼多多赢得了巨大的市场份额。据《2025年中国电商市 ...
