Summary

Platforms like Alibaba’s Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo have grown livestreaming commerce into big business across China and into Asia. US marketers should track the latest developments in this space. US marketers will soon see livestreaming commerce emerge from platforms like Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, and standalone vendors.

Marketers targeting young or digitally savvy US consumers should experiment early with livestreaming commerce, primarily to support product discovery.
