Yandex Market announced that it has begun cooperation with foreign stores from Asia and the EAEU countries - this will further expand the range and allow Russians to purchase brands that were previously not available in Russia.
Goods from abroad have appeared on the marketplace. Cooperation with foreign sellers will allow the platform to expand the range of goods and introduce buyers to new brands that were previously not available in Russia. Stores from Asia and the EAEU countries, which offer electronics, household appliances and household goods, have appeared on the showcase in test mode.
The partnership of the domestic marketplace with foreign stores allows Russians to buy goods directly from manufacturers without intermediaries. As for delivery, the minimum term is 7 days (may be longer depending on the location of the seller).
By the end of the year, Market plans to attract up to 1,000 sellers from China, Turkey, South Korea and the EAEU countries. First of all, the marketplace will focus on stores that offer a unique assortment in the categories - electronics, household goods, cars, beauty and health, clothing and shoes, including accessories.
Other domestic marketplaces are following the same path. For example, Ozon launched sales of goods from Russia in Armenia in July and already has its own logistics infrastructure in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. And Wildberries, in addition to Russia, operates in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Israel and Uzbekistan.
