45% of surveyed shoppers report buying via social media. The 2026 survey covers 29,000 shoppers across 29 countries, interviewed between December 2025 and February 2026.

Global self-reported data, not a conversion rate or a France-specific measure. The summary page mixes some 2025 and 2026 graphics; we use only its explicit 2026 headline figure.
