Description
Live shopping combines entertainment, social proof, and urgency into a single buying experience that converts at 30% versus 3% for traditional e-commerce — a 10x improvement. The global live commerce market hit $8.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $35 billion by 2026. Instagram alone sees 130 million monthly shopping tag engagements, and 72% of users purchase after seeing products on the platform. This is not a trend — it is the next default shopping behavior.
