Livestream shopping uses live video streaming to provide brands with an opportunity to improve intimacy with consumers and make sales.

According to Deloitte, China’s livestreaming market generated $4.4 billion last year.

MediaPost contributor Teng Zhang has shared a useful article on Livestream Shopping.

Zhang says, ” Live-streamed content is captivating young audiences: More than 60% of 18- to 34-year-olds report that they regularly tune in to real-time video from online influencers, according to Statista.

Retailers are adding their own content into the mix, with brands including Amazon and Alibaba launching live-stream shopping channels.

Alibaba-owned Taobao Live has dominated the market so far, selling more than $15.1 billion in gross merchandise volume in 2018. On Alibaba’s Singles’ Day event in 2019, Taobao Live raked in $30.8 billion”.
