Taking ATRenew's B2B Model Global Through FoneSquare
FoneSquare, the global B2B marketplace launched during the event, is a key pillar of ATRenew's overseas expansion strategy. The goal is to replicate the success of PJT Marketplace from the Chinese mainland while rolling out its expansion in four phases:
- The first involves leveraging first-party products from the Chinese mainland to streamline cross-market business, establishing a global distribution system via
Hong Kong andDubai . - The second involves launching an online trading platform, restructuring the traditional fragmented offline trading model and reducing transaction uncertainties.
- The third involves exporting a complete set of self-developed automated quality inspection systems. The Company may deploy multi-module intelligent testing equipment and automated warehousing and transfer systems in Hong Kong,
Dubai , andMiami — three major global trade nodes — unifying global standards for pre-owned electronics grading and eliminating information barriers across the industry. - The fourth involves gradually transforming from a self-operated sourcing model to a comprehensive platform, leveraging abundant sourcing and two-sided network effects to continuously expand supply and demand, and building a global pre-owned electronics circulation infrastructure.
