On April 30, 2026, research from Impact.com's Southeast Asia influencer e-commerce study revealed that brand engagements with influencers contributed approximately USD 11 billion in direct e-commerce sales value across Southeast Asia in 2023, identifying the region as a commercially productive yet often misunderstood influencer marketing market.
