A DIY loofah video on TikTok attracted 5.6 million views. This sparked a sales surge. On Etsy, 18,100 short loofahs sold in 30 days, generating over $1.14 million. Loofahs are priced just a few dollars each and are now widely exported. In 2024, e-commerce sales reached $37 million across 50 countries. Eco-friendly brand Luftabs also makes loofah bath sponges. They generate over $12 million annually by leveraging community reviews and real user feedback.
2.US Car Window Cleaning Tools Continue to Dominate, Huge Potential in Auto Accessories Market
A car window cleaning tool equipped with a retractable aluminum handle and washable microfiber cloth has recently hit #5 on TikTok’s US best-seller list. With daily sales of 3,500 units and a revenue of $45,000, it’s clear that the automotive accessory market is booming. The product’s 180° rotating head and extendable design solve common cleaning issues for both the inside and outside of car windows. Reusable cloth heads make it eco-friendly, and its high rating of 92% further proves its market success. With over 8 million video views, this product is a prime example of how automotive accessories are trending in the US.
3.Apollo Go Partners with Uber for Strategic Cooperation
Apollo Go, a subsidiary of Baidu, has entered into a strategic partnership with Uber, the world’s largest mobility platform. As part of the collaboration, thousands of Apollo Go autonomous vehicles will be integrated into Uber’s global ride-hailing network. By the end of the year, the companies plan to deploy Apollo Go’s sixth-generation self-driving cars in Asia and the Middle East, with further expansion planned. This partnership has driven Baidu’s stock price up by 8.65%, showing strong investor confidence.
4.Temu Opens Its Local Seller Program in Australia, Helping Retailers Adapt to E-Commerce
Temu, the cross-border e-commerce platform, has recently launched its Local Seller Program in Australia. This allows local businesses with inventory to join the platform, which was previously invite-only. The initiative is aimed at helping traditional retailers adapt to the growing e-commerce trend, especially as platforms like Temu and Kmart continue to disrupt the market. In 2024, Temu saw a 72% growth in Australian traffic and topped the iPhone download charts. Despite its success, the long-term impacts on employment and data security remain to be seen.
5.US Senator Threatens 500% Tariffs on Countries Trading with Russia, Including China
US President Trump recently announced that if Russia and Ukraine fail to reach an agreement within 50 days, the US will impose a 100% tariff on Russian goods and additional "secondary tariffs" on countries buying Russian oil. Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened to impose a 500% tariff on countries, including China, that continue trading with Russia. The Chinese government has strongly opposed such unilateral sanctions. This aggressive tariff policy, aimed at neutral countries maintaining trade with Russia, could have significant implications for energy imports, and businesses should closely monitor future developments.
