[...] In this article, we will conduct a comprehensive SWOT analysis of the group. We will first discuss the strengths and weaknesses, which constitute the company's internal diagnosis, as well as the opportunities and threats, which are elements of the external diagnosis. SWOT Analysis of TEMU The strengths As we mentioned in the introduction, Temu has quickly found a place on the global e-commerce market. The strategic model put in place allows for direct connection between consumers and manufacturers, who are for the most part based in China. [...]
[...] In this perspective, it is more complex to try to retain customer loyalty. They are certainly very attracted by the prices but they are not engaged in the company's world. In addition, Temu appears to be particularly vulnerable to US commercial restrictions. Recently, the United States banned the importation of Chinese products through the site, with severe consequences, such as a significant reduction in the entire US catalog, a price increase on the remaining products, which inevitably leads to a decline in competitiveness for the group.

Very attractive promotions, games, discount coupons, partnerships with influencers, everything is done to encourage the consumer to order on the platform. The weaknesses In terms of weaknesses, there are certain consumers who will complain about the quality of certain products, which can harm the image and reputation of the group quite seriously in the medium and long term. [...]
[...] Another threat is that of international legislation. Laws concerning data protection, but also, as we mentioned earlier, product transparency, without forgetting the working conditions of employees or consumer rights, all of this can lead to a number of sanctions and impact the site's reputation even more. These geopolitical threats can affect the group's development in other countries. There are commercial tensions between China and the West, which lead to restrictions, as is the case between China and the United States, for example. [...]
