AliExpress is now Australia’s most downloaded shopping app, surpassing Amazon and other major retailers. The shift comes as more Australians look for budget-friendly options amid rising living costs.

The app’s popularity has grown due to its mix of affordability, variety, and improved delivery times. Offering everything from home goods to electronics, AliExpress has attracted shoppers searching for cheaper alternatives without long shipping delays.

While Amazon has long been the go-to for online shopping, changing consumer habits suggest people are exploring different platforms to find the best deals.
