 4月6日，阿里对外发布消息称，截至2016年3月31日财年底，根据阿里巴巴集团中国零售交易市场的交易总额（GMV），阿里巴巴集团已经成功击败沃尔玛、好市多等世界零售巨头，正式成为全球最大的零售体。不过，其并未披露具体交易额数据，而是表示“独立第三方机构普华永道针对上述数据执行了协定程序” 。这意味着全球最大零售体已经从线下迁移到线上。 Chinese E-commerce giant Alibaba Group has officially become the world's largest retailer, with its gross merchandise volume (GMV) surpassed three trillion yuan, or 475.89 billion dollars, in the last financial year ending in March. This means the world's largest retail market place has shifted from offline to online. Traditional offline retail giants like Wal-Mart and Costco have been outperformed.  阿里巴巴是在互联网时代成长起来的。支撑它快速成长的技术和商业服务模块是大数据技术、云计算、互联网支付体系、互联网信用体系、智能物流体系等。通过应用这些技术，阿里巴巴成功地创建了一个平台，让线上线下企业并存。 Alibaba was born in a time of data technology.
