The live e-comerce wing of the longtime global commerce leader recently expanded internationally at MCM London Comic Con. It first launched in 2022.
Livestream shopping began picking up steam in the past decade in China, led by companies such as Taobao and Douyin, which surged during the pandemic. Pitchbook reported $380 million invested in U.S. livestream e-commerce companies in 2022, a massive leap from the $36 million reported in 2020.
