Fan Kang, a data analyst of group 800, told reporters in Nandu that for group buying websites, especially in the rapid development of mobile Internet and the gradual entry of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/business/ "giant" /a ", profitability is not a top priority, and strategic layout and market share will be more critical at this stage. < /p >

< p > 2013, the overall size of the group buying industry is estimated to be over 35 billion yuan, up 65% from the previous year. It is estimated that the overall scale of group buying will reach more than 50 billion yuan this year. < /p >
< p > fan Kang predicts that this year's group buying market < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/business/" > pattern division /a > will be more clear and gradually showing three development trends. The market share of the large group buying platform such as the US, the commented and the glutinous rice will continue to increase. The space of the small and medium-sized flat group buying websites will be further squeezed. Instead, some local community based group buying websites will get some room for development. In addition, B A T is more directly entering the field of group buying, and the competition between them will be more intense around the entry, verification, payment and even development mode. The group buying website will become the front runner and will get more support from resources such as capital and flow. < /p >
