Alibaba Group supply chain risk

As of 2026-09-05, Alibaba Group depends on 8 tracked suppliers headquartered in 3 countries (4 of them in China). 3 of those suppliers hold a monopoly or leader position in their own segment, led by NVIDIA, TSMC and Broadcom. The dataset records no companies downstream of Alibaba Group: it sits at the demand end of the chain, so the risk here runs upstream only.

Data as of 2026-09-05 · suppliers are the curated key_supplier edges in the wafergraph dataset (researched or segment-inferred — see /methodology) · criticality is the graph-derived chokepoint score, 0–100
