TikTok, the popular social media platform, is gearing up to introduce its e-commerce platform, TikTok Shop, in Japan. This new feature will enable users to showcase and sell products through live streams. The decision to launch TikTok Shop in Japan comes on the heels of the platform’s successful expansion into Europe. This move is in line with TikTok’s broader business strategy to diversify its revenue streams, especially in light of regulatory hurdles in the United States. In the US, TikTok is facing uncertainty about its future due to divestiture mandates imposed by regulatory authorities. By venturing into e-commerce and live streaming sales, TikTok aims to enhance user engagement and offer new monetization opportunities for its user base.
