PG Mall Joins JD Worldwide to Bring Malaysian Products to China
by Rachel Liu
PG Mall, a leading Malaysian online retailer, joined JD Worldwide on January 27th to directly sell products to Chinese consumers. Over 10,000 sellers and over 1 million products, such as bird’s nest and durian products, will be launched on JD Worldwide in the next few years.
“Since the pandemic outbreak, the global economy has been facing challenges, and Malaysian enterprises are no exception, especially the small enterprises,” said Dato’ Wira Louis Ng, Founder and Executive Chairman of PG Mall. “They need to explore new markets around the world. Through the partnership with JD Worldwide, we would like to help the small enterprises extend their markets and resume operations.”
“We are excited to bring PG Mall on JD Worldwide,” said Luke Liu, general manager of business development of JD Worldwide. “This partnership will allow JD customers to enjoy more local Malaysian products and enrich the product category on JD Worldwide. We will put in more resources and efforts to support overseas merchants to improve their performance in the Chinese market.”
PG Mall is a fast-growing ecommerce platform in Malaysia, and has also been ranked as the third most visited online marketplace among foreign-owned online marketplaces in the country by meta-search website iPrice.
This partnership follows JD’s efforts last November to directly source products from popular platforms including Rakuten, Kintetsu, AUTOBACS, SOLETRADER and more. The direct source project allows JD Worldwide to transfer orders to its partners to send products directly from overseas without third-party transit, enabling customers to enjoy authentic, new products from all over the world as quickly as possible. Partners can also add a new sales channel in China with lower cost on logistics and warehousing.
Last December, JD Worldwide also welcomed the Malaysia Overseas Flagship store, under the witness of Malaysian Ambassador to China, Mr. Raja Dato’ Nushirwan Zainal Abidin. The Malaysia Overseas Flagship Store will introduce nearly 1,000 products from over 60 Malaysian brands, such as instant bird’s nest soup, Musang King durian coffee, curry and coconut milk, which are highly popular among Chinese consumers.
Any shopping malls, e-commerce platforms or brands interested in tapping into China’s market through JD Worldwide can apply via https://www.jd.hk/cooperation_en or by emailing worldwide@jd.com.

CIIE 2024: JD.com to Expand Imports of Specialty Brands, Strengthen Healthcare Partnerships, and Enhance Logistics
At the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) on November 5, JD Super, the supermarket division of JD.com, announced a major initiative to broaden its selection of imported specialty. Over the next three years, JD Super plans to introduce over 1,000 new international brands to meet the increasing demand for high-quality, diverse imported goods.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Quality Imports
According to JD Worldwide’s “White Paper on 2024 China Cross-Border Consumption Trends,” more than 80% of Chinese consumers are interested in imported products, with many prioritizing authenticity, quality, and fast delivery. In response, JD has significantly expanded its range of international offerings. During the ongoing Singles’ Day Grand Promotion, sales of cross-border products have surged, with more than 600 brands experiencing a sales increase of over 100% compared to last year.
Strengthening High-Quality Food Partnerships
Demonstrating JD.com’s commitment to sourcing high-quality products, JD Super signed a new procurement agreement at CIIE with Huadong Foods and Teys, a major Australian beef brand under Cargill. Under this agreement, JD Super and Huadong Foods will procure $50 million of Teys beef throughout 2025. This partnership underscores JD’s strategy of collaborating with trusted suppliers to provide high-quality, affordable beef to Chinese consumers.
Delivering Authentic Global Goods Efficiently
JD Logistics has built a robust logistics network that spans bonded, direct mail, and overseas warehouses, facilitating fast deliveries of imported items across categories such as electronics, fashion, beauty, food, and baby products. In many major cities, delivery times have been reduced to under 48 hours.
For instance, JD Super’s partnership with Raub of Malaysia enables the import of Musang King durians, which are harvested at peak ripeness and air-shipped with cold chain logistics for delivery within 24 hours. Additionally, JD.com also secured an early supply of Chilean cherries, available since October, which can be delivered in as little as 30 minutes in many areas through JD NOW, its on-demand retail service.
JD.com’s “JD National Pavilions” program, which features over 150 country-themed flagship stores from more than 70 countries and regions, continues to be a cornerstone of its import strategy. Supported by embassies and reputable organizations, this initiative offers Chinese consumers access to premium products and cultural experiences from around the world. In April, JD launched the JD National Pavilion of Mali, introducing popular items like shea butter and garnering over 40,000 followers.
Expanding Healthcare and Logistics Partnerships
JD Health is also making strides at CIIE by strengthening partnerships with leading global healthcare companies, including Merck, Bayer, and Roche. As “China’s premier online health access point,” JD Health is committed to integrating digital and physical healthcare resources to improve access and convenience for patients.
Key collaborations include initiatives with Haleon to promote brain health and anti-aging for the “silver economy,” with MSD China on a digital diabetes management model, and with Teva Pharmaceuticals to provide patient education for conditions such as tardive dyskinesia (TD) and Huntington’s disease (HD).
On the logistics front, JD Logistics announced plans to double its overseas warehouse space by 2025 and expand its network of bonded and direct mail warehouses. JD Express now serves over 60 countries, enhancing cross-border delivery efficiency and supporting both brands and consumers.
Through these efforts, JD.com reaffirms its commitment to sourcing and delivering authentic, high-quality imported products to Chinese consumers, supported by an advanced supply chain that ensures a superior shopping experience.
