What HKTVmall does

HKTVmall is a multi-category online marketplace serving primarily Hong Kong and Macau consumers, operated by Hong Kong Television Shopping Network Limited — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Technology Exploration Limited (HKTV), a Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed parent. Founded in 2015 and self-described as Hong Kong's largest online shopping platform, it connects thousands of third-party merchants with consumers across 13+ categories including supermarket groceries, beauty, fashion, electronics, pets, mother & baby, and home goods.

The platform is built on an integrated e-commerce architecture combining a website (hktvmall.com), iOS/Android mobile applications, owned last-mile logistics, and an O2O pickup network across Kowloon, New Territories, and Hong Kong Island. Distinctive operational features include same-day wet-market fresh delivery (街市即日餸), a Mall Dollar loyalty cashback system, VIP tiered membership, and HKTV Live streaming commerce. Supporting infrastructure encompasses ThePlace merchant storefronts, EcoMart secondhand marketplace, GreenLab near-expiry goods, and dedicated Macau and international shipping services.

Monetization spans multiple streams: marketplace commission from third-party merchants, transaction fees, advertising and sponsored placements, paid HKTVplus subscription, Mall Dollar loyalty program economics, and insurance product commissions where HKTVmall acts as a licensed agent. Distribution combines the owned e-commerce storefront, mobile apps, O2O pickup points, and direct delivery. Strategic partnerships include a co-branded Citi HKTVmall credit card and integration with affiliated entities such as ThePlace and Everuts. The company serves general Hong Kong consumers as its primary segment, with secondary emphasis on pet owners, parents, and beauty/personal care buyers.
