Price Competition: Intense competition in the e-commerce market may lead to price wars, reducing profit margins for both Daraz and its sellers.

Market Volatility: Economic fluctuations, changes in consumer preferences, or regulatory challenges can impact the demand for certain products, requiring agile responses from the commercial department.
Logistics Challenges: Coordinating the procurement and distribution of products efficiently across a wide geographical area poses logistical challenges, including shipping delays, inventory mismanagement, and customer dissatisfaction.
