Jd Com IncJD.com signs cooperation agreement with Carrier to create joint omnichannel digital retail ecosystem for home comfort products.
Chinese retail group JD.com has signed a co-operation agreement with US-based Carrier to create a joint omnichannel digital retail ecosystem centred on home comfort products. Carrier's brands, including Toshiba HVAC and Carrier Residential & Light Commercial, will deepen their existing relationship with JD.com by combining the retailer's online commerce infrastructure with its physical store network. The announcement comes as JD.com faces increasing regulatory attention in Europe, with the European Commission issuing a statement of grounds in its in-depth investigation into potential foreign subsidies linked to JD.com's proposed acquisition of German retailer Ceconomy. Late last month, the Conservative Party reportedly urged the UK Government to review JD.com's activities, citing concerns that the company's growth in Britain could threaten high street retailers.
