The Top 10 China Sourcing Websites
Because the tide of Internet plus has swept all the industrial chains of the social economy, actively conforming to the general trend of the Internet economy has become the basic consensus of the survival and development of traditional industries. What’s more, vigorously entering the e-commerce market is regarded as the only way for the successful transformation of traditional enterprises. In addition, as the most mature model of the e-commerce economy, the B2B e-commerce market is full of contention. In order to help you find the most appropriate sourcing websites, we sorted out the top 10 China sourcing websites comprehensively selected according to the criteria of transaction volume, revenue status, registered user scale, website weight, user experience, and traffic：

——The Top 10 China Sourcing Websites
- Website: alibaba.com

Although Alibaba’s business volume is increasing, its service level has not improved at the same time. As a result, in the face of the competitive impact of B2B rising stars represented by GongChang, it is not clear whether Alibaba can take the lead.
2. HC360

- Website: hc360.com

As of October 2015, the registered procurement members exceeded 7 million, the registered suppliers of more than 3.5 million, and the number of independent visitors (UV) reached 1.5 million.
