    A BOOST in marketing and entertainment efforts appears to be paying off for Shopee in its battle for regional e-commerce dominance.

    The Sea Group unit had the most monthly active app users and heaviest web traffic in South-east Asia for Q2 2019, according to product comparison website iPrice. It places the company ahead of its largest rival Lazada, though Alibaba-backed Lazada still leads in four out of six markets in the region in terms of monthly active users on its app.
