Stars
SeaMoney Digital Credit and Banking has shifted into a high-margin credit engine, with its loan book up 32% YoY to US$6.4 billion by FY2025, fueling net interest income growth and higher unit economics.
Serving 18 million unbanked customers across Southeast Asia, SeaMoney captures a dominant share of emerging digital lending, expanding credit penetration where banks lag.
Synergy with Shopee cuts customer acquisition cost to under US$8 per funded account in 2025, a channel advantage traditional banks cannot replicate.
Shopee Brazil is a Star: in 2025 it ranked top-three in Latin America e-commerce with GMV growth of ~45% YoY and revenue reaching BRL 18.2bn (~USD 3.6bn), driving high double-digit growth while moving toward contribution-margin positivity (contribution margin ~-2% in 2025 vs -8% in 2023).
The business keeps dominant share in cross-border and local marketplace (market share ~28%), and though logistics capex totaled BRL 2.1bn in 2025, Shopee Brazil is Sea's largest long-term growth engine outside Asia, projected to reach EBITDA breakeven by 2027.
High-margin Shopee Advertising and Merchant Services is a Star for Sea, with ad take-rates topping 12% for top merchants in FY2025 and contributing ~28% of platform revenue, up from 20% in FY2023.
Using first-party consumer data, Shopee runs a closed-loop marketing ecosystem that boosts ROI for brands and fuels ad spend growth that outpaces GMV-ad revenue grew ~35% YoY in 2025 versus GMV growth of ~18%.
The segment delivers software-like gross margins near 65%, lifting overall platform profitability and making it central to Sea's monetization strategy.
Shopee Live and Video Commerce
Shopee Live and video commerce sit as Stars in Sea's BCG matrix: in 2025 Shopee Live captures ~40% market share of Southeast Asian social commerce vs TikTok Shop's ~30%, driving 25-35% higher conversion rates and 2.5x longer session times than search-led shopping.
This unit needs ongoing spend-estimated $400-600M annual content/influencer investment in 2025-and bandwidth but creates both defensive moat and growth runway by lifting ARPU and retention.
- Market share 2025: Shopee Live ~40%
- Conversion lift: +25-35% vs search
- Engagement: 2.5x session length
- 2025 content/influencer spend: $400-600M
SeaMoney Insurtech and Wealth Management
SeaMoney's insurtech and micro-investment offerings became a Star in 2025, with active users up 50% to about 9 million and GMV of embedded premiums and investments reaching roughly $420 million, driven by checkout integration on Shopee and the SeaMoney app.
These products are in high-growth mode but need targeted marketing to educate novice investors and convert trial into repeat purchases; CAC rose 18% in 2025 as Sea invested in education campaigns.
- Active users: ~9 million (50% y/y growth)
- Embedded premiums & investments GMV: ~$420 million (2025)
- CAC increase: +18% in 2025 due to education marketing
