The Chinese e-commerce market is already saturated. It would be a feat for Tmall and Taobao to just hold their ground. Given the current trend, there is a high probability that Pinduoduo will surpass Tmall and Taobao in the next five years. Once Pinduoduo overtakes Tmall and Taobao, Alibaba would become insignificant, relegated to a fate similar to Baidu's, with little chance of making a comeback. Therefore, Alibaba must make up its mind to transform. Last year, the revenue share of Tmall and Taobao dropped to 40%, and it is likely to fall below 30% in the next three years. This can significantly mitigate the risk of Tmall and Taobao's decline. Alibaba's revenue last year was 120 billion, with a profit of 10 billion. In the next three years, its revenue may exceed 200 billion, with a profit of around 30 billion.
