$Pinduoduo Inc.(PDD)$  Duoduo Grocery (Chinese: 多多买菜), the online grocery app of e-commerce platform Pinduoduo; Meituan Select (Chinese: 美团优选) and the now-defunct Chengxin Youxuan (Chinese: 橙心优选) entered the online fresh grocery market around the same time in 2021, waging fierce price wars that prompted regulatory crackdowns.

Missfresh has so far raised USD 1.7 billion from a batch of big names, including Tencent Holdings, Goldman Sachs, CICC and Abu Dhabi Capital, according to the data provider Crunchbase. While its competitor, Dingdong Maicai, has also spooned USD 1.3 billion from seven investors including SoftBank Vision Fund II, Gaorong VC, Tiger Global Management and General Atlantic.

Nevertheless, the capital boost has also struggled to cover the continued losses of online grocers.
