After its start as a video-based classifieds app for [pet products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petdiary), the platform has expanded to offer in-app payment as well as delivery services. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Camelan is 100% free to use and makes buying and selling products easy via short video clips that are not only convenient but also a great way to ensure and verify product quality. "The video makes commerce more personal. It helps you hear the story from the seller and see what you’re buying just like you would in real life. I believe that video is the most natural medium for online commerce. The current status quo exists due to the limitations of technology when ecommerce first emerged, but this status quo should change and evolve, to keep up with the experience buyers expect," said Moustafa Mahmoud about the brand's mission. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Video-based Marketplaces:** The utilization of video-based interfaces to disrupt traditional online marketplaces, making the buying and selling experiences more personal and trustworthy. - **P2P Transactions:** Peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions are gaining ground as people look for new ways to chare resources, cutting out the intermediary and saving time and money in the process. - **Mobile-first Platforms:** Mobile-first platforms like Camelan are becoming increasingly popular as smartphone usage grows and convenience becomes increasingly vital for the modern consumer ### Industries Being Reshaped - **E-commerce:** The growth of video-based marketplaces and P2P transactions are disrupting traditional e-commerce platforms, providing a unique and convenient shopping experience for consumers. - **Pet Care:** The video-based P2P pet marketplaces industry is rapidly growing given its unique and easy to use selling and shopping experiences. - **Logistics and Delivery:** As the demand for P2P transactions increase, logistics and delivery companies will need to innovate to meet customer's growing needs for reliable and cost-effective delivery service. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Online Auction-Inspired Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-auction-format.md) - [All-in-One Remote Pet Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petcube-1.md) - [Pet Services Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsetlife.md) - [AI-Powered Pet Health Assessments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-health-assessment.md) - [Parental Pet Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petters.md) - [Animal Casting Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalsfilm.md) - [Pet Content Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tails-frames.md) - [Real-Time Video Matching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-me-maybe.md) - [Dog Matchmaker Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegada.md)
