The Chinese-owned shopping platform has fallen from third to tenth place among Denmark’s most-used online stores, while second-hand marketplace Vinted is gaining ground.
Temu has lost significant ground among online shoppers in Denmark over the past year.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Chinese-owned platform was the third most popular online store among Danish consumers. A year later, it has fallen to tenth place, according to the latest E-commerce Tracker from the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI).

Also, everything you really want is no longer being made and has been replaced by a wise quality version that requires an app.
I don’t understand how anyone buys from temu. I have occasionally seen something I want to buy. But temu pops up endless carnival wheel pop ups for a discount ending with a demand to install the app to actually purchase.
I can’t imagine ever installing an app just to buy something.
They must not want my business I guess.
Even alibaba is mostly shit. I’ve only heard terrible things about temu, like that its where the alibaba rejects are sold.
Alibaba is the only source I know for 3d printing components and microcontroller components that aren’t on Amazon.
Thr Price is now the same or higher than Amazon. So I either purchase from Amazon or not at all.
Cut out the middleman, try AliExpress. It’s coming from China all the same.
