Shein reports record profits for the first half of 2023

According to the company's press office, the strong financial results were driven by the platform's growing presence in the US market.

"We recorded the highest net profit for the first half of the year in the company's history compared to near breakeven for the same period in 2022". In the memo, he added: "In particular, the continued growth of our presence in the US reinforces our leading market position." - commented the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the company Donald Tang.
