SYDNEY, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Temu has been ranked the fastest-growing website in Australia, according to Similarweb's 2025 Digital 100 Australia report, with a 72% increase in unique visitors year-over-year.
The online marketplace leads the rankings, which measure the top 250 websites across various categories, followed by property.com.au and chatgpt.com, ranked second and third, respectively.
"We sincerely thank our customers for their continued support and for choosing our value-focused e-commerce," a Temu spokesperson said. "We are committed to continuously enhancing our platform to provide greater value for our customers."
Temu's rapid growth extends beyond web traffic. It was also the most downloaded iPhone app in Australia for 2024, according to Apple, and the only shopping app in the top 10 free apps on the App Store. Globally, Temu holds the top spot in 25 markets across more than 30 countries and regions with official Apple rankings, including the U.S., UK, and South Korea.
Central to Temu's growing popularity is its direct-from-factory model, which connects shoppers directly with manufacturers. By eliminating intermediaries and their associated costs, the platform offers competitive pricing while maintaining operational efficiency.
Since entering the Australian market in March 2023, Temu has actively listened to feedback from stakeholders and adapted its offerings to better meet consumer needs. In 2024, the platform enabled qualified sellers to manage logistics and ship products directly from Australian warehouses, cutting delivery times to as fast as one business day. This initiative expanded product variety and significantly improved service for local customers.
Despite being just over two years old, Temu has expanded to more than 80 markets, including Oceania, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. To further enhance its service, Temu has introduced local fulfillment services and begun recruiting local sellers in some markets, such as the U.S., UK, Germany, France, and Japan. These efforts aim to broaden its product selection and improve delivery efficiency.
In Europe, the company estimates that up to 80% of its business could stem from its local-to-local model. This approach not only allows sellers to better serve domestic markets but also provides opportunities to reach new customers across regions through Temu's platform.

Launched in the U.S. in September 2022, Temu is committed to offering the most affordable quality products to enable consumers and sellers to fulfill their dreams in an inclusive environment.

HOTLIST is a expert-curated list reflecting the evolving values of the market at each stage of development. The selection process combines the expertise of a prestigious advisory council comprising both domestic and international experts, based on key criteria including quality, innovation, social impact, and sustainable growth potential.
Last year, HOTLIST 2024 made a strong impression on the tourism, hospitality, and service community by recognising more than 40 brands and 12 inspiring individuals across 28 categories spanning hospitality and resorts, destinations, technology, and experiential initiatives.

HOTLIST 2025: From Seed to Harvest
Entering 2025, HOTLIST is developed under the theme "From Seed to Harvest" inspired by rice, a symbol deeply rooted in Vietnam's wet-rice civilisation and cultural identity. From planting ideas and nurturing resources to harvesting sustainable achievements, this metaphor reflects the authentic development journey of projects, brands, and destinations within the tourism and hospitality industry.
At a time when the tourism sector faces multiple challenges such as climate change, shifting traveller behaviour, and global competition, the spirit of "From Seed to Harvest" underscores the importance of long-term vision, perseverance, and adaptability.
This year, HOTLIST 2025 introduces a public voting component in the final evaluation stage, enabling the community and industry professionals to participate directly in the selection process. Beyond fostering engagement, this initiative also provides an opportunity for audiences to share their firsthand experiences with the shortlisted brands and projects.

This year's list continues to acknowledge well-established brands such as Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An; Topas Ecolodge; Six Senses Ninh Van Bay; P'apiu Resort; Wink Hotels, among others. It also introduces international brands that have made a positive impact on the Vietnamese market, including voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, and Hyatt Place Halong Bay, Bai Chay. In the Aviation category, STARLUX AIRLINES was selected for its premium flight experience.
The expansion and diversification of award categories reflect HOTLIST's commitment to comprehensively capturing industry dynamics, while encouraging responsible development models that respect local identity and generate positive social impact.
As part of its mission to deliver practical value to the tourism industry, HOTLIST 2025 will host The Insiders Forum in Hanoi (7 January 2026, Sheraton Hanoi West) and Ho Chi Minh City (19 January 2026, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon).

On 19 January 2026, The Honor Ceremony will take place in Ho Chi Minh City to officially recognise and present certificates to the brands, projects, and individuals featured in HOTLIST 2025. The event will also serve as a B2B networking platform for industry stakeholders.
