PDD Holdings is a Chinese holding company that owns multiple e-commerce businesses. The most notable businesses in its portfolio are Temu and Pinduoduo. They're both online discount marketplaces, with Temu focusing more on international business and Pinduoduo on customers in China.

In 2023, PDD Holdings moved its legal domicile from China to Ireland. The move coincided with a marketing push to build Temu's brand in the U.S.

While Temu had become popular with U.S. consumers, Trump administration tariffs on China heavily affected its business, causing a 51% drop in monthly active users between March and June 2025. A federal appeals court ruled that most of the tariffs are illegal, which would be good news for PDD Holdings. However, the tariffs remained in place in late 2025, pending a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
