The company faces increasing competition from rivals such as TikTok, Lazada, Shein, and Temu.

By partnering with YouTube, Shopee aims to leverage the video platform’s vast user base and engagement to drive sales.

For YouTube, Bloomberg noted, this partnership represents a significant opportunity to tap into the growing e-commerce market in Southeast Asia.

The company has already started exploring shopping features in the US and is now expanding its efforts to this region.

As competition intensifies in the Indonesian e-commerce market, the partnership between YouTube and Shopee is expected to have a significant impact on both companies.

The move could potentially redefine the way consumers shop online and therefore provide new avenues for businesses to reach their target audience.
