Homegrown ecommerce marketplace Flipkart has noted high early adoption of its video commerce feature, with users spending over two million hours across a range of creative video commerce offerings over the past year (June 2023 to May 2024).

More than 75 million users have watched a video when shopping on Flipkart in the past six months alone (January to June 2024) across the ecommerce app's Liveshop+ and Vibes features, said the company.

It noted that events such as The Farmer’s Alphonso Mango Day Live Stream (establishing direct farmer-to-customer connect), Big Bharath D2C livestream, The End Of Season Sale, and Zero Hours saw strong engagement with its video commerce offering.


According to Flipkart, its video commerce feature offers a trusted experience through real-time engagement and live product demonstrations, which helps in understanding the product better. The maximum viewership clocked (number of times the video was watched) on a single live commerce video was 1.4 million.


The Walmart-owned company noted that video commerce was gaining rapid adoption among women in Tier II cities and beyond, millennials and Gen Z consumers. It saw the most engagement in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
