Tmall, known as "天猫" (Tiānmāo) in Chinese, is a premier B2C (business-to-consumer) e-commerce platform operated by Alibaba Group. Established in 2008, Tmall allows both domestic and international brands and retailers to open official stores and sell their products directly to consumers. With its vast scale, Tmall hosts hundreds of thousands of brands and attracts around 800 million monthly active users.
