In China, livestream commerce—selling products via live video on platforms such as Taobao and TikTok—will account for as much as 20% to 25% of online sales in 2023. In the United States, it accounted for $11 billion in sales in 2021, and growth is increasing dramatically. It’s no wonder brands as diverse as Nordstrom, Petco, and Walmart are embracing the format.
