The US-China trade war has unexpectedly benefited the Chinese e-commerce platform DHgate, making it one of the top apps in the US App Store. Known for selling affordable 'dupes' of major brands like Lululemon and Dyson, DHgate has risen to number two in the free apps category, just behind ChatGPT. Founded in 2004, the company boasts millions of sellers and offers significant discounts on an extensive product range, appealing to price-sensitive consumers looking for cheaper options during uncertain economic times.
DHgate, which excels at offering branded lookalikes at attractive prices, has rapidly ascended to become the second most popular free app in the US, trailing only ChatGPT.
The US-China trade war has inadvertently propelled DHgate to prominence, as consumers turn to cheaper alternatives from Chinese-based retailers to circumvent inflated prices on branded goods.
