Since the emergence of the pandemic in late 2019, all industries around the world have received a considerable impact. The economic market is in recession, but cross-border e-commerce has ushered in a rapid development opportunity. Chinese fast-fashion e-commerce brand Shein, as a representative of independent e-commerce platforms, has become a high-profile e-commerce brand with revenue of more than US$10 billion in 2020 and has topped the IOS software application charts in multiple countries several times. The pandemic brings both challenges and opportunities for the overall economic environment to vigorously develop cross-border e-commerce. This paper analyzes the performance and specific response measures of Shein, a representative cross-border e-commerce company in the era of the pandemic. It summarizes a series of response measures made by Shein in the face of the pandemic, such as differentiated marketing, flexible supply chain construction, brand building, etc., analyzes its advantages, and makes suggestions for the future development of cross-border e-commerce.
