According to the report “Global Powers of Retailing 2022” released by Deloitte in late February, JD.com was listed as one of the Top 10 retailers worldwide and the only Chinese company that made the list.
The ranking is based on the financial performance and operations for financial years ending within the 12 months from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 (FY2020). With a revenue of over USD 94.4 billion, JD.com moved up four places to enter the Top 10.
Deloitte says that JD has achieved the second highest sales growth among the Top 10 companies, with a year-over-year FY2020 retail sales growth of 27.6%. The company also achieved highest five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR), 31.2%, in FY2015-2020.
The report highlighted that JD.com “delivers the majority of orders to customers through its own fulfillment infrastructure,” and the company is “exploring ways to make their supply chain operations greener.”
With over 550 million active customers, JD.com is setting the global standard for online shopping experiences, offering a vast selection of products, across every major category such as electronics, apparel and home furnishings, FMCG, fresh food, home appliances and more. Nowadays, over 90% of JD.com’s first party orders can be delivered within 24 hours thanks to the company’s nationwide logistics network.

JD Flowers Blossoms at 9th International Rose Symposium with Supply Chain Innovation
The 9th International Rose Research and Cultivation Symposium kicked off on May 10 in Mentougou District of Beijing. It is the first time that China is hosting the symposium in its 40-year history. Among standout participants, JD Flowers – the floral division of JD.com – seized the spotlight by presenting its cross-border supply chain solutions at the Diplomats’ Cultural Exchange Salon. The salon drew over 150 ambassadors and representatives from more than 30 countries and international organizations.
Under the theme “The Magic Door to Flowers Anywhere,” JD Flowers showcased its global floral network through an immersive presentation. Attendees followed the journey of blooms from Dutch tulip fields to Ecuadorian rose farms, highlighting JD’s unparalleled ability to deliver freshly cut flowers to Chinese consumers.
By leveraging JD’s global procurement network, dedicated cargo flights, advanced freshness-preservation warehouses, and instant retail ecosystem, JD Flowers can now achieve a remarkable 9-minute delivery window for internationally sourced flowers from the moment an order is placed via JD’s app. “We’re transforming flowers from occasional luxuries into everyday emotional companions,” said Jensen Liu, Head of JD Flowers. “Every bouquet carries cross-cultural connections.”
Capitalizing on China’s thriving $15 billion floral market, JD Flowers has a large amount of urban white-collar users, who account for 70% of its user base, and taps into JD.com’s 600 million active users.
Earlier this year, JD.com airlifted one million Dutch tulips from FloraHolland’s Aalsmeer hub to China. Stored in JD Logistics’ Guangzhou floral centers using 2-8°C temperature-controlled packaging, the flowers were distributed nationwide via cold-chain networks for same-day or next-day delivery.
Beyond floral displays, JD’s National Pavilion enriched the event’s multicultural bazaar with flagship stores representing Australia, Azerbaijan, and other nations. Visitors sampled global delicacies and handicrafts in a demonstration of JD’s growing role as a cultural bridge between Chinese consumers and international markets.
Running through May 15, the five-day symposium features over 1,000 domestic and international rose varieties. The event aligns with JD Flowers’ mission to blend technological innovation with cultural exchange. By optimizing cross-border floral logistics and curating premium global experiences, JD.com strengthens its position as the gateway for international brands entering China – and a trailblazer in building sustainable, high-efficiency supply chains.
