Tmall first, JD.com second, Douyin third

Tmall (天猫) kept the top spot among the comprehensive platforms, with JD.com (京东) close behind and Douyin (抖音) in third. 100EC, the e-commerce trade outlet that carried the data, noted that the campaign was still running and the final order could change.

Each platform’s clock started on a different day

Kuaishou (快手) opened its 11.11 campaign first, on 7 October. JD.com started selling in-stock goods on 12 October. Douyin and Pinduoduo (拼多多) began on 15 October, the same day Tmall opened pre-sales; Tmall’s main sale followed on 20 October.

Syntun says it followed each platform’s announced campaign dates inside the 7–31 October window, so the platforms contribute different numbers of selling days to the total.

How Syntun builds the numbers

Syntun monitors and collects information from public e-commerce pages with its own system, then runs the data through a statistical model. Category definitions and brand attribution follow its in-house rules, and none of the figures has been independently audited.

The firm states that its estimates may differ from data the platforms publish themselves, and that they are not meant as a basis for securities trading or investment decisions. Official 11.11 results from Tmall, JD.com and Douyin use their own periods and definitions.
