Fangdd Network DUO

Fangdd Network Group Ltd operates as a customer-oriented PropTech company in China, specializing in digital real estate transaction services. The company runs an online marketplace that connects real estate sellers, agents, buyers, and other industry participants, facilitating efficient and cost-effective property transactions. By leveraging advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and cloud computing, Fangdd Network Group Ltd provides a comprehensive suite of digital tools and services designed to streamline real estate transactions, enhance transparency, and improve operational efficiency for all marketplace participants.

Fangdd Network Group Ltd generates revenue primarily through two channels: property transaction services and innovation initiatives alongside other value-added services. For property transaction services, the company earns base commission fees when transactions are closed on its marketplace, typically ranging from 2% to 5% of the transaction value. The innovation initiatives and value-added services include software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, asset management services, and consulting fees. SaaS solutions are monetized through subscription fees, while asset management services generate revenue via management fees, consulting fees, sharing fees, and commissions. In 2024, the company facilitated closed-loop transactions with a gross merchandise value (GMV) of RMB13.3 billion, or approximately $1.8 billion.

The company operates through the following segments:

• Online Marketplace: This segment serves as the core of Fangdd Network Group Ltd’s business, providing a digital platform that connects real estate sellers, agents, buyers, and other participants. The marketplace offers extensive property listings, intelligent matching algorithms, and transaction management tools to facilitate seamless real estate transactions. It also includes SaaS solutions tailored for agents, sellers, and buyers, such as Property Cloud for developers and Duoduo Sales for agents, which enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement.

• Asset Management Services: Launched in 2023, this segment targets non-residential properties, including long-term rental apartments, industrial parks, commercial office spaces, and urban complexes. Fangdd Network Group Ltd provides an integrated suite of services, such as design and planning, tenant acquisition, property management, and sales, aimed at optimizing asset value and operational efficiency for stakeholders like municipal investment companies and real estate developers.

Fangdd Network Group Ltd holds a competitive position in China’s online real estate services industry, which is characterized by rapid digitalization and increasing competition. The company’s primary competitors include other transaction-oriented platforms that offer real estate listings and related services, as well as traffic-oriented platforms focused on attracting online users. Traditional real estate brokerage firms and regional players also pose competition. Fangdd Network Group Ltd differentiates itself through its transaction-focused business model, extensive and verified property database, and deep industry insights. Its proprietary artificial intelligence and big data analytics enable precise matching of properties with agents and buyers, enhancing transaction efficiency. The company’s strong brand recognition, built over more than a decade, and its ability to foster amicable relationships among marketplace participants further strengthen its market position.

Fangdd Network Group Ltd serves a diverse customer base within the real estate ecosystem. Its primary customers include real estate sellers, such as developers and property owners, who utilize the platform to list properties and access digital marketing solutions. The company also caters to over 61,800 active real estate agents, providing them with SaaS tools and training to improve their operational efficiency. Real estate buyers benefit from the platform’s extensive property listings, transparent agent information, and personalized services. Additionally, the company partners with municipal investment companies and real estate developers to offer asset management services for non-residential properties.
