Southeast Asian tech giant Sea Limited on Monday posted its first profitable year amid efforts to defend market share against Alibaba -owned Lazada and TikTok.
Net income in 2023 was $162.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.7 billion in 2022.
Sea's e-commerce arm Shopee made a "meaningful gain in market share" in 2023 despite "intensified competition in Southeast Asia," the firm said on Monday.
Sea also said Shopee's market share in the region has "solidified" and the firm intends to "maintain our market share in 2024."
Tokopedia merged with TikTok Shop in Indonesia to form an enlarged Tokopedia entity, in which TikTok will take a controlling stake of 75.01%.
