Douyin e-commerce disclosed in its 2027 annual results full-year GMV of 4.2 trillion yuan ($580 billion), up 35% year-over-year, firmly maintaining its position as China's third-largest e-commerce platform.
Douyin e-commerce's growth mainly comes from three directions: First, search GMV share increased from 18% in 2026 to 28%, indicating users' shopping intent on Douyin is extending from "discovery-based" to "search-based"; second, merchant live-streaming penetration exceeded 50%, with brands beginning to view Douyin as an equally important operations platform alongside Tmall; third, the shelf mall channel daily active users exceeded 300 million, becoming a new growth source.
Douyin e-commerce head stated that in 2028, the platform will focus on the "same product, lower price" special initiative, targeting Pinduoduo's price competitiveness positioning, while increasing governance of content quality and reducing traffic weight to low-quality sales livestreams.
Industry analysis suggests Douyin e-commerce's rise has profoundly changed China's e-commerce landscape—Taobao and Tmall face pressure, Pinduoduo's lower-tier market advantages are being eroded, and brands have gained a third trillion-dollar-level annual operations platform.
