JD.com Announces European Brand Partnerships at Alimentaria Barcelona

Posted on by Vivian Yang

  • JD.com debuts at the landmark 50th anniversary of Alimentaria Barcelona, showcasing a dual-track strategy for global brands cooperation.

  • Partnerships signed with premium European brands, including BayMar, to facilitate their entry into the Chinese market via JINGDONG Cross-border.
  • European retail presence strengthened through Joybuy, driving retail innovation across the continent.

BARCELONA, Spain, March 23, 2026 — JD.com (also known as JINGDONG), a leading supply chain-based technology and service provider, today marked its presence at the landmark 50th anniversary of Alimentaria, the premier international food, drinks, and food service exhibition held March 23-26 in Barcelona. At the event, JD.com showcases its dual capabilities: serving as a trusted gateway for international brands to enter the China market through JINGDONG Cross-border, while simultaneously driving local growth with its new online retail destination in Europe, Joybuy.

Empowering Brands via the “10 Billion GigaGrowth Plan”

At the heart of its showcase, JD.com highlighted the “10 Billion GigaGrowth Plan,” an ambitious initiative launched in 2025 aimed at introducing 1,000 new international brands to China over the next three years to achieve a cumulative sales target of RMB10 billion (USD$1.4bn). While Alimentaria attracts a diverse range of global participants, JD.com’s cross-border import platform, JINGDONG Cross-border, is focusing on three core strategic actions to empower these partners: promoting Centennial Brands, expanding JD.com’s National Pavilion program, and stepping up a Global Goods Recruitment drive to source trending, high-quality products worldwide.

“Our mission is to simplify the complexity of entering the Chinese market,” said a spokesperson for JINGDONG Cross-border. “Our end-to-end support, from logistics and marketing, to operations, helps ensure premium international products can scale with precision and speed. Consumers in China are discerning, they increasingly prioritize quality, variety, and authentic heritage from the brands they choose. This is why we are targeting to introduce 1,000 new brands worldwide.”

For international sellers, JINGDONG Logistics, JD.com’s logistics arm, provides an integrated bonded solution, managing everything from port pickup and customs to nationwide doorstep delivery across China. By overseeing the full B2C journey, JD.com ensures premium goods arrive in perfect condition, helping brands build lasting trust with consumers.

Strengthening the Spain-China Economic Bridge

Ernesto Negredo Pascual, Commercial Counsellor of the Embassy of Spain in China, highlighted the positive prospects for collaboration with JD.com, noting that the platform offers valuable opportunities to showcase Spanish excellence to the Chinese market. He emphasised the potential for continued synergies and joint promotional initiatives to help increase the visibility of Spanish brands and further support their growth on JD.com.

Building on this momentum, JD.com solidified its commitment at Alimentaria through a partnership signing with BayMar, a renowned Spanish food brand. This collaboration focuses on bringing premium canned seafood to Chinese consumers with maximum efficiency.

“Partnering with JD.com allows us to leverage world-class logistics and deepen consumer insights,” said Javier Coll, Director of Operations at BayMar. “Their reputation for authenticity and their superior fulfillment network ensure that our products reach Chinese tables with the same quality and freshness they have in Spain.

To seamlessly connect exhibition interests with JD.com’s over 700 million active customers, the “Spanish Food & Drinks Festival” is launched online on JD.com at the same time. The campaign offers limited-time promotional trials and curated gift sets of Spanish wines and culinary specialties. By leveraging JD.com’s extensive traffic and localized marketing channels, the festival effectively helps new arrivals of premium imported goods gain traction in China.

Driving Retail Innovation and Enhanced Shopping Experience in Europe

Beyond its cross-border capabilities, JD.com’s European online retail brand, Joybuy, is now available in six countries: the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. It features a brand-led platform for both international and local brands, with direct sourcing from reputable global partners.

Supported by JoyExpress, its dedicated last-mile delivery service, Joybuy customers in select cities can enjoy “Double 11” delivery. This means orders placed by 11am arrive the same day before 11pm.

By integrating source procurement, global fulfillment, and local European retail, JD.com is building more efficient trade pathways at this milestone 50th edition of Alimentaria. As a leading importer and retailer, JD.com continues to support the global food and drinks industry by strengthening brand partnerships and ensuring that high-quality products from around the world are more accessible to professional buyers and household consumers alike.

JD.com and DHL Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Support German Brands’ Growth in China and Europe

Posted on by Yuchuan Wang

Beijing/Bonn, February 26, 2026: JD.com, Inc., China’s largest retailer by revenue, and DHL Group, the world’s largest logistics provider, today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to support German brands’ growth in China and strengthen their presence in European markets through JD.com’s European retail platform, Joybuy. The MoU was signed at JD.com’s headquarters in Beijing.

DHL and JD.com have agreed to collaborate on innovative logistics and e-commerce initiatives, aiming to create seamless, integrated solutions that better connect brands, merchants, and consumers across both continents. Taking advantage of  DHL’s extensive global logistics infrastructure and JD.com’s e-commerce ecosystem, the partnership creates new opportunities for German brands to expand internationally. It further strengthens DHL’s position as the leading logistics partner for brands in Europe, while reinforcing JD.com’s role as a trusted e-commerce gateway for global brands.

From left to right: Tobias Meyer, CEO, DHL Group; Dongming Wu, CEO, DHL Express China; Eric Zheng, Head of Global Service, JINGDONG Logistics; Sandy Xu, CEO, JD.com.

Lowering Barriers for German Brands Entering the Chinese Market

Under the MoU aimed at promoting German brands, DHL will introduce them to JD.com, helping German businesses expand their presence in the Chinese market. By engaging JD.com’s cross-border e-commerce business, JINGDONG Cross-border, German brands can sell directly to more than 700 million Chinese consumers on JD.com, without a physical presence or legal entity in China.

By combining the strengths of DHL and JD.com, German brands gain access to a seamless, one-stop solution for entering the Chinese market. DHL and JINGDONG Logistics, JD.com’s logistics arm, will collaborate to design and provide end-to-end integrated logistics solutions, enhancing the overall fulfilment experience from Europe to China. The solution will allow merchants to benefit from a preferential customs duties and VAT scheme for direct B2C shipments, lowering such costs substantially compared to conventional importation.

In addition, JD.com also offers a full range of e-commerce capabilities, including operations, product selection, consumer insights, marketing tools, and more. Combined with DHL’s decades of experience in international shipping and trade facilitation, this creates a uniquely powerful ecosystem for brands expanding into China.

Tobias Meyer, CEO of DHL Group, said: “This partnership will enable a solution that helps DHL customers in Germany and Europe in accessing the vast China market. We combine four elements in a unique solution: the global strength of DHL, the enormous reach of the JD.com platform, a preferential import scheme for B2C shipments and the great fulfillment and delivery capabilities of JD.com in China. The combination of our logistics expertise and JD.com’s established e-commerce capabilities will provide great benefits for German brands to expand internationally through scalable pathways and innovative tools that help merchants connect with consumers in the best possible way.”

Sandy Xu, CEO of JD.com, said: “Many German enterprises have strong products and compelling brand stories. Sustained growth in China requires the right channels and operational infrastructure to directly reach Chinese consumers at scale. Through this MoU with DHL, we aim to combine logistics capabilities, digital infrastructure, and market access to help brands better understand Chinese consumer demand, optimize product positioning and improve go-to-market efficiency, enabling them to focus on long-term growth and brand building.”

As part of this joint initiative, JD.com will also support these German brands in reaching a broader base of European consumers through Joybuy, the company’s new online retail business in Europe. Using its extensive e-commerce experience, Joybuy will provide German enterprises with a new sales channel and expanded retail infrastructure, enabling them to engage more European consumers. This strengthens DHL’s role as the leading enabler of European e-commerce growth, continuously supporting German brands to expand into new markets.

AllianzJD Unveils Enhanced Priority Rescue Service, Delivering Seamless, Borderless Emergency Care Worldwide

Posted on by Vivian Yang

On February 26, 2026, AllianzJD, the joint venture between JD.com and Allianz that combines JD.com’s technology-driven consumer expertise with Allianz’s global leadership in insurance, announced, a major upgrade to its travel insurance “Priority Rescue” service. This industry-first mechanism in China strengthens protection for both outbound travelers from China and inbound international visitors, building a truly borderless safety net for global journeys.

At the core of the upgrade is the principle of “life first, rescue prioritized.” In life-threatening situations, such as serious accidents or sudden acute illnesses, AllianzJD commits to immediate intervention by advancing or guaranteeing medical expenses upfront. This ensures travelers receive prompt professional treatment without financial hurdles, with cost settlement occurring only after the traveler’s condition has stabilized. The approach completely eliminates money-related stress during critical emergencies.

To make this promise reliable worldwide, AllianzJD draws on Allianz’s extensive global network to maintain a comprehensive service infrastructure. It provides 24/7 multilingual customer support, operates a rescue network spanning more than 200 countries and regions, partners with over 1.9 million service providers, and delivers assistance in more than 70 languages. The full process from initial consultation and guidance through rescue coordination to international medical repatriation is seamlessly covered.

The company upholds a strict “530 Rapid Response” standard: rescue requests are accepted within ‘five’ minutes, full activation begins within ‘thirty’ minutes, and native-language response teams engage within one hour via its worldwide emergency medical network. This guarantees fast, equitable, and efficient action no matter the location.

A recent real-world example illustrates the service’s effectiveness. Ms. Qin, insured under an AllianzJD outbound travel policy, sustained serious injuries in a car accident while traveling alone in the Republic of Georgia. Upon receiving the alert, AllianzJD promptly activated Priority Rescue, closely monitored her local treatment, provided expense guarantees, and once her condition stabilized, arranged a medically equipped international return flight to China accompanied by two professional nurses. The repatriation costs for Ms. Qin were fully covered within the policy’s scope.

“In an era of global travel recovery, every traveler’s top priority is peace of mind,” said an AllianzJD spokesperson. “This Priority Rescue upgrade directly meets that need by dismantling traditional barriers in emergency assistance. By harnessing our partners’ combined global resources and networks, we deliver more targeted, efficient, and reliable protection tailored to diverse travel scenarios, truly fulfilling our commitment to safeguard every journey around the world.”

Complementing its outbound offerings, AllianzJD introduced the “Charming China” inbound travel insurance in 2025, specially designed for international visitors to China. This product incorporates the enhanced Priority Rescue service, enabling global tourists to explore the country with greater confidence and security.

Since its establishment in 2018, AllianzJD has effectively integrated JD.com’s advanced digital intelligence and deep insight into the Chinese market with Allianz’s more than 130 years of international insurance leadership and rescue expertise. This powerful partnership has produced a comprehensive portfolio of travel insurance products covering diverse global travel scenarios, earning widespread market recognition for its professional claims handling and emergency response capabilities.

Looking ahead, AllianzJD will continue to leverage the strengths of both partners, drive ongoing product and service innovation, and strengthen its borderless travel safety ecosystem, contributing to the sustainable growth of the global tourism industry.
