Electricity Supplier Financing Declined For Four Consecutive Quarters

In April last year, the comprehensive B2C e-commerce Jingdong mall completed the C round.

A total of US $1 billion 500 million marks the climax of capital investment enthusiasm for the domestic electricity supplier industry.

Since then, the amount of domestic electricity supplier financing has decreased quarterly.

After the crazy growth of last year's financing scale, the overall financing of the electricity supplier has declined this year.

According to the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, there were 25 cases of electricity supplier financing in the first half of 2012, with a total financing amount of 6 billion 720 million yuan, representing a decrease of 46.24% over the same period last year.

So far, the amount of electricity supplier financing has also declined for four consecutive quarters.

Southern China electric business expert Gong Wenxiang said in an interview with reporters that this year B2C financing will be cold, and a large part will be eliminated. The whole industry will face a shuffle.

In addition, as Jingdong mall, suning.com and other integrated B2C business performance efforts, some vertical platform B2C living space will also be further squeezed.

"At present

The dilemma is more of a helpless move. "

In an interview with reporters, said, "because the new financing has been more difficult, and now how much money on hand, every enterprise knows clearly, if it is burned like this before, I am afraid it is difficult to continue."

High levels of turbulence

"Gold owners" are becoming more rational, and they have to face the reality of the electricity providers who have been burning money.

Since the beginning of January this year, there has been a number of layoffs for e-commerce providers, such as Xiu Xiu, Shang pin, Alibaba and so on.

Recently, 58 city groups bought hundreds of news of layoffs, and in August 10th, 24 tickets for group buying websites also came out that the company would also lay off staff.

In addition, this year, the high level turnover of e-commerce enterprises is more frequent.

According to incomplete statistics from the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, 7 high level turbulence incidents have occurred in the domestic electricity supplier industry this year, including the recent departure of Wu Bo, the founder of the handshake network, as well as the incident of the departure of maishan, vice president of masa Marceau, the departure of CEO, Hou Yu Jiang, and the departure of Du Fei, general manager of red children mall.

Gong Wenxiang said that with the cooling down of the electricity supplier financing environment, investors' dissatisfaction with their performance and the weakness of the employees in the electricity industry on the industry have caused the turbulence of the electricity supplier industry this year.

Pang Minli, assistant analyst at the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, believes that job losses and layoffs are frequent in e-commerce websites. First, the growth of corporate income has slowed down due to the decline in the real economy.

Derived from the real economy.

The recession of the real economy will be pmitted to the electricity supplier industry to a certain extent.

Second, China's Internet industry is facing difficulties in closing overseas IPO windows.

Although vip.com was "bloody" listed in March this year, it was the only IPO in the first half of the year.

In addition, the internal friction caused by the price war has increased the cost pressure of the major electricity suppliers, and the profit problem that has plagued the entire industry is also an important reason for the industry tightening.
