Global Social Commerce Market Trends: 

The market is primarily driven by the growing adoption of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to sell goods and services using social communications. New shopping experiences created due to social interactions and the transactional nature of e-commerce are also providing a positive impact on the market growth. Social commerce facilitates a collaborative and connected environment for buyers across the globe, which helps companies build trust and loyalty with customers and expand their overall sales. Furthermore, the increasing preference for unified payment options and the inclination toward convenience is also fueling the market growth.
