Alibaba was originally founded in 1999 as a B2B e-commerce portal to connect Chinese manufacturers with overseas buyers. In 2003, the service expanded to include Taobao, a C2C e-commerce marketplace, and in 2008, Tmall, a B2C online commerce platform focused on brands and online retail. To round off the digital offerings, group shopping and flash sale website Juhuasuan was launched in 2010.

Overall, the largest portion of Alibaba Group's revenues is generated through Chinese-based e-commerce, as the company data states a 450 billion yuan segment revenue in 2025. That year, retail e-commerce in China accounted for 41 percent of the company's revenue. International commerce retail accounted for eight percent of its annual revenues. In that year, Alibaba Group’s net income amounted to 126 billion yuan, increasing steadily from the previous year

The group’s monetization model relies heavily on online marketing services, including P2P marketing services, display marketing, and promoted selling as well as commissions on transactions and storefront fees. Alibaba’s Chinese retail marketplaces had around 903 billion annual active buyers.

Alibaba also holds stakes in online video company Youku Tudou and entertainment company Alibaba Pictures.
