TikTok Shop brought creators, brands, and fans together under one roof at its inaugural TikTok Shop Creator Fest 2025 in Singapore, a celebration of how creativity fuels commerce and how passion transforms into profit.
The festival spotlighted the thriving ecosystem where creators drive discovery and sales, showcasing how livestreaming, viral trends, and community engagement power TikTok Shop’s success story. Since its Singapore launch in 2022, TikTok Shop has rapidly grown into one of Southeast Asia’s leading e-commerce platforms, with its community of affiliate creators more than doubling year-on-year. Over the past year alone, the platform saw a 1.7x increase in LIVE hours and a 6.3x jump in e-commerce short videos, fueling remarkable growth in sales.
The numbers tell the story: overall affiliate GMV doubled, LIVE GMV surged 136%, and short video GMV climbed 95%.
