Jiaxing ranked 3rd provincewide in trade via livestream
Trade via livestream in Jiaxing, East China's Zhejiang province, totaled 21.76 billion yuan ($3.42 billion) in the first 10 months of the year, a year-on-year increase of 113.5 percent, local media reported on Dec 9.
The figure placed the city in third place among its counterparts in Zhejiang.
Statistics show that in the Jan-October period, the number of Jiaxing livestreaming hosts on Taobao, Douyin, and Kuaishou was more than 13,000, ranking fourth in the province.
Increasing construction of livestreaming bases is considered the best way to create an industrial cluster for livestreaming.
"Jiaxing has made full use of its existing industrual clusters involving cloth, suitcases and bags, knitwear, and hosiery to build industrial clusters for livestreaming," said a staff member of the Jiaxing commerce bureau.
For example, Pinghu focuses on apparel while Haining focuses on leather in their respective livestreaming industries.
