The largest buyer countries are India (8%-10%), the USA (8%), and Russia (7%-8%) [2][4] Core Business Model - Over 85% of Focus Technology's revenue comes from the Made in China.com business, which helps Chinese suppliers publish products for international buyers. The company charges domestic suppliers while not charging overseas buyers [3] Future Development Directions - Focus Technology aims to enhance platform GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) through three main strategies: 1. Increasing buyer traffic via promotion and SEO techniques 2. Raising seller payment rates by encouraging them to purchase more value-added services and expanding product categories 3. Utilizing AI technologies, such as AI Mac and Sourcing AI, to improve conversion efficiency and assist buyer decision-making [5] AI Applications - The company has introduced AI Mac, which offers services like product content optimization, multilingual customer service, and price comparison.
