The right figure depends entirely on the definition used.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do the numbers differ so much?<\/h3>\n<p>Different definitions of what counts, different regional coverage, different base years, currency conversion, and gross versus net revenue.<\/p>\n<h3>Which number should I use?<\/h3>\n<p>The one whose definition matches your question, with the source named. If you cannot find the definition, do not use the number.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the growth rate more reliable than the size?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Growth is a ratio, so definitional differences partly cancel out. Sources agree on roughly 26\u201329% annually.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does China matter so much here?<\/h3>\n<p>It is the largest and most mature social commerce market. Including or excluding it moves global totals by trillions.<\/p>\n<h3>What is gross merchandise value?<\/h3>\n<p>The total value of goods sold before returns and cancellations. Net revenue is what remains afterwards, and it is the number that pays bills.<\/p>\n<h3>Should small shops sell on social platforms?<\/h3>\n<p>Test it if your products are visual and your buyers are younger. Measure net revenue and return rates before scaling.<\/p>\n<h3>Are returns really higher in social commerce?<\/h3>\n<p>Impulse purchases generally get returned more than researched ones, which is why gross figures can overstate the value of the channel.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I compare figures from two research firms?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Quoting 2025 from one and 2026 from another creates a fake growth rate, because the apparent change is really a change of definition.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do social and mobile figures overlap?<\/h3>\n<p>Quasi tutto il commercio sociale avviene tramite telefono, quindi la stessa vendita conta in entrambe le categorie. Se la somma delle quote canale di un rapporto supera il 100%, si sovrappongono.<\/p>\n<h3>Does live shopping explain the regional gap?<\/h3>\n<p>Largely. It is a mainstream channel in China and experimental in most Western markets, yet it sits inside global totals.<\/p>\n<h3>Come posso valutare l\u2019affidabilit\u00e0 di una statistica?<\/h3>\n<p>Check six things: definition, data year, geography, method, uncertainty and funding. Government data usually scores five or six; free market-research headlines often score one or two.<\/p>\n<h3>Where can I find free, checkable data?<\/h3>\n<p>Government statistics agencies.
