    A wave of cross-border companies have gone out of business or shut down operations, putting the low-price, high-volume model under strain

    Some cross-border e-commerce companies have gone out of business or shut down operations. The material attributes their exits to pressure on profits and cash flow from price competition and rising logistics and compliance costs. In the first half of 2026, 8 of the 18 cross-border e-commerce companies listed by AMZ123 reported a decline in net profit; the material cites Tianyancha data showing that more than 16,000 cross-border e-commerce-related companies had newly registered as of July 2026. It stresses that an increase in registrations does not mean higher profitability or survival rates, and cites the growth in performance at Anker Innovations and UGREEN to illustrate the business value of brand building, R&D, and supply chain capabilities.

    More cross-border sellers are turning to training and store management: courses, hands-on coaching, and business registration assistance become mainstream revenue sources

    More sellers in the cross-border e-commerce sector are shifting from selling products to services such as store management, training and incubation, hands-on coaching, and business registration assistance. Managing European local stores and pairing local accounts with teams operating from China have become common models. One seller in the Russian market recruits Ozon apprentices, charging an incubation fee of RMB 6,980; workspace is free for the first month and costs RMB 200 per month thereafter. Industry insiders say course sellers are not responsible for results, making this an easy way to earn money. But some exploitative providers show off earnings while omitting the risks of advancing funds and having stores shut down.
