TikTok’s Phenomenal Ascent: The New Trendsetter in E-commerce
Imagine witnessing a platform’s sales skyrocket by nearly 200 million Malaysian Ringgit in just a month! That’s the exciting trajectory TikTok is currently on and at this rate TikTok is on track to hit a staggering 1 billion RM in sales before the anticipated 11.11 sales event.
So, what’s driving this unprecedented growth?

Shopee’s Steadfast Position
Shopee, on the other hand, has been maintaining its stronghold in the Malaysian e-commerce landscape. With monthly sales revenues hovering around the 1.5 billion RM mark, Shopee continues to wear the crown as Malaysia’s leading e-commerce platform. What’s intriguing is that TikTok’s impressive growth hasn’t significantly dented Shopee’s position.
This suggests that TikTok might be attracting a fresh group of buyers rather than directly competing with Shopee’s existing customer base. With Malaysia’s e-commerce penetration rate standing at 48.7% according to statista, there’s still ample room for revenue growth, and Shopee seems to be navigating this landscape with finesse.
TikTok’s Bold Aspirations
TikTok isn’t content with just being a player; it aims to be the game-changer. The platform has set an ambitious target of achieving a staggering USD 1 trillion in sales worldwide by 2025. This audacious goal underscores TikTok’s potential as a major force in Malaysia’s e-commerce landscape, opening up exciting opportunities for sellers and affiliates.
