The e-commerce industry has experienced tremendous growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. Internet users crave retail therapy, and live shopping delivers just that. China is the undisputed leader in the live shopping industry, showing the world how it’s done. The most popular live shopping Chinese platform is Taobao, owned by Alibaba. According to a McKinsey report, in just 3 years, China’s livestream shopping market has exploded from $3 billion to $171 billion.
Statista reports that livestream shopping has increased by 76% globally. Europe has experienced the highest growth with 86%, closely followed by the Middle East with 76%, and North America with 68%. By 2024, the livestream market in the US is expected to reach $35 billion, as reported by Retail Touchpoints. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to dominate the market in the future mainly due to the large population and smartphone use.
