Sales of Child Safety Seats Rise on JD
by Rachel Liu
International child safety seat brands and high-end products are getting more popular on JD, said a sales manager from JD today.
In China, concern for children’s safety on the roads is rising. JD Super, JD’s online supermarket will work with brand partners to increase the market penetration of child safety seats especially in lower tier cities in China, providing more diversified products to better protect children’s safety.
The China Child Safety Seats Industry White Paper released by JD Super, China Certification Center for Automotive Products, and Hubei Daily Media Group on Apr. 16 shows that the market size of Child Safety Seats will reach hundreds of billions of RMB. The current penetration rate of child safety seats in China is far below that of developed countries. According to the white paper, the child safety seats industry in China will increase 10-20 times in the next five to 10 years.
Sales of the safety seats category on JD grew 86.6% YOY during 2019 and 91.6% during Q1 2021, with a slight dip in 2020 due to COVID-19. The most important factors that impact customers’ shopping decisions when buying safety seats are safety, price and easy installation, according to the white paper. Most of the customers prefer to choose well-known brands.
“British brand Britax is the best-selling brand among child safety seat brands on JD. Cybes and osann from Germany, and Maxi Cosi from Holland are also among Top 10 brands,” said the JD sales manager. “Another interesting trend that we saw is that demand from customers from lower-tier markets is increasing. Sales of child safety seats by customers in sixth-tier cities ranked No.3 on JD.”
JD is continuously introducing more child safety seat brands to the platform, and sales of the products have seen double digit increases every year.

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.
