Live shopping is taking off in the UK and the U.S. via TikTok Shop , the video-sharing app's ecommerce leg.

In China , in 2023 alone, an estimated $500 billion in goods were sold via livestream on apps.

Some businesses are making hundreds of thousands even millions of pounds via live shopping.

Live shopping platforms provide spaces for enthusiasts with varied interests.

Whatnot, a large livestream shopping platform in North America and Europe , is becoming increasingly popular for live shopping.

Live shopping offers something in-person shopping generally doesn't: hundreds of people who are just as interested in the thing you're about to purchase as you are.
