The live commerce platforms market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The live commerce platforms market has seen significant expansion over the past few years. The market that was valued at $1.26 billion in 2024 will amplify to $1.55 billion in 2025, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%.
The growth that occurred during the historical period was due to an increase in e-commerce, development in live streaming technologies, the emergence of influencer marketing, a surge in mobile internet usage, and the expansion of various social media platforms.
The live commerce platforms market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• There's a prediction for a substantial surge in the market size of live commerce platforms in the subsequent years. It is anticipated to escalate to $3.55 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.0%.
The augmentation in the estimated period can be ascribed to the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for creating individualized shopping journeys, the proliferation of 5G technology, the introduction of blockchain for safe transactions, and the shift towards practices that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Prominent trends expected during the forecast span encompass hybrid shopping activities that merge online and offline experiences, the rise of specialized influencer-driven marketplaces, enlargement of live auction and bidding mechanisms, the growth of social commerce along with shoppable content, and the implementation of interactive and gamified shopping practices.
The surge in internet usage is predicted to fuel the expansion of the live commerce platform market in the future. The Internet, a global system of interconnected computers that allows users to share and access information, has seen its demand surge due to its capacity to provide instant access to an abundant range of resources, communications, and services. The extensive use of smartphones and other devices capable of connecting to the internet has led to a significant rise in internet penetration. This allows live commerce platforms to immediately link sellers with a worldwide audience, promoting real-time interactions and transactions. For instance, a report released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations specialized agency based in Switzerland, in September 2023 stated that the global number of internet users surged to 5.4 billion in 2023 from 5.1 billion users (64%) in 2022. Hence, the surge in internet usage is propelling the expansion of the live commerce platform market.
