The increasing interest in interactive and immersive shopping experiences is anticipated to drive the expansion of the Live commerce market in the coming years. Interactive and immersive shopping experiences involve retail approaches that integrate real-time engagement elements such as live video demonstrations, instant feedback, and dynamic interactions between hosts and consumers, enhancing engagement throughout the purchasing process.

Live commerce facilitates interactive and immersive shopping experiences by combining real-time streaming, audience participation, and instant purchase options within the e-commerce journey, making shopping more engaging and interactive than conventional online methods. For example, in May 2024, according to Adobe Inc., a US-based software and digital experience company, retailers employing 3D renders on their e-commerce platforms observed the proportion of shoppers adding items to their carts increase from 32% in 2022 to 45% in 2023, reflecting a 40.6% year-on-year growth.

For example, in September 2023, TikTok, a US-based social media technology company, introduced TikTok Shop, an e-commerce platform featuring in-feed shoppable video formats, live shopping sessions with real-time product pinning, and a dedicated product discovery tab that aggregates items promoted by creators and brands.

These features allow creators and sellers to conduct commerce-focused broadcasts without relying on external systems, enhance viewer engagement during demonstrations, and increase purchase frequency by minimizing transaction friction.
