TikTok Shop Expands to Europe and Other Countries

The introduction of TikTok Shop in Europe is a logical step, as the platform is experiencing enormous growth in e-commerce. During last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sales increased by 165% compared to the previous year, and revenue for a single day exceeded 100 million dollars.

The hashtags #tiktokshopblackfriday and #tiktokshopcybermonday reached nearly 8 billion views in 2024, showing that users on TikTok are actively tuned in to shopping.

TikTok Shop is already proving to be a strong competitor to platforms like Shein and Temu.

New Opportunities for Sellers

An important innovation is the introduction of the Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT) service in Germany, which significantly simplifies logistics for sellers. This model is already successfully operating in the United Kingdom and ensures storage, packaging, and delivery of goods directly under ByteDance, the owner of TikTok. This allows brands and sellers to focus on sales and marketing instead of dealing with logistics.

Dynamic Growth Thanks to Content Creators

One of the main factors behind TikTok Shop’s success is connecting sales with content creators. Live shopping on the platform has recorded more than 500,000 shopping sessions with a total length of over 660,000 hours. For example, Canvas Beauty Brand’s live event during Black Friday generated revenue of 2 million dollars.

TikTok is thus becoming not just a social network but also a key player in social commerce. Brands that want to keep pace with new shopping habits should not ignore TikTok Shop – it offers a direct connection with customers and creates a community willing to shop directly in the application.
