Competitive landscape for WILDBERRIES
How's the Shopping market?
Wildberries holds a #2 Shopping category rank in Russia, but its global footprint remains fragmented with rankings outside the top 100 in most international markets. The gap between its regional dominance and global visibility signals that the current logistics-heavy model is difficult to replicate in markets without established pickup infrastructure.

Key takeaways for WILDBERRIES
Where is it heading?
The e-commerce market in the CIS region is consolidating, and Wildberries' current reliance on restrictive connectivity policies is creating a vacuum for competitors to exploit. Unless the platform addresses the billing and access friction, the logistical advantage will be insufficient to prevent a steady erosion of the active user base over the next two quarters.
- Persistent complaints regarding unauthorized subscription charges erode trust, which compounds the churn pressure already visible in the review data.
- Aggressive VPN blocking prevents access for regional users, which directly limits the addressable market and drives migration to less restrictive platforms.
The SWOT
- 90,000+ pickup point network creates a physical barrier to entry for digital-only rivals
- Clearer international goods labeling would reduce support ticket volume regarding ID verification

The aggressive VPN blocking is a retention lever, not a technical failure…

Live-stream shopping modules (available in Joom but absent here)
Since the last report: User sentiment has declined due to intensifying complaints regarding forced subscription enrollment and opaque cancellation flows. The platform is now prioritizing billing transparency and international goods labeling to address these retention risks.
Bottom line
Wildberries must pivot toward billing transparency to protect its core user base from migration to competitors. Addressing the subscription cancellation friction will unlock higher long-term retention than further feature expansion in the current climate.
