Poland's dominant e-commerce platform, Allegro, anticipates higher profits for the first quarter of 2023, as the company continues to expand its customer base and improve its platform offerings[1]. According to a Reuters report, Allegro's strategic moves have allowed the company to flourish despite fierce competition from international players like Amazon[1].
Allegro's Chief Financial Officer, Piotr Szmidt, disclosed that the company's profits for the first quarter of 2023 are expected to exceed PLN 400 million ($99 million), a significant increase compared to the same period last year[1]. The company has enjoyed consistent growth in recent years, driven by its dedication to improving its platform, providing competitive pricing, and attracting new customers[1].
Additionally, Allegro's market share in Poland has been steadily increasing, which has helped to solidify its position as the country's leading e-commerce platform. The company currently boasts over 140,000 professional sellers and 20 million registered users, with these figures expected to grow further[1]. By focusing on catering to local consumers, Allegro has managed to maintain a strong hold on the market despite the presence of global giants like Amazon.
One of the key factors contributing to Allegro's success is its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. The company has invested heavily in its logistics network, ensuring fast and efficient deliveries to customers. Furthermore, Allegro offers a wide range of products and services, including electronics, home and garden items, and fashion, which has helped to attract a diverse customer base[1].
Allegro's rapid growth and financial success have not gone unnoticed by investors. The company went public in October 2020 with an initial public offering (IPO) that valued it at $11.2 billion.
