About Webuy Global Ltd

The Company’s mission is to make social shopping a new lifestyle for consumers and to empower consumers’ purchases with an efficient, cost-saving purchasing model. Webuy is committed to developing a community-oriented e-commerce platform in the Southeast Asia region and transforming the e-commerce model into a community-driven experience for consumers. For the year ended December 31, 2022, revenue increased 99.9% to approximately $44.6 million. 

The Company’s ‘group buy’ business model is designed to transform conventional shopping avenues, in order to achieve attractive, efficient cost-savings for customers (similar to group purchases and bulk orders), without having to undertake bulk purchases individually, through a community-centric approach.
