Kuaishou is currently the second-largest short video platform in China, with more than 300 million daily active users. It is rapidly becoming popular in cities below the second tier in China.
While most social media is dominated by celebrities and influencers, Kuaishou amplifies the voice of ordinary people and their lives. Kuaishou users are mainly young people who come from second and third-tier cities, but also from villages and rural areas of China.
Kuaishou actively collaborates with all the other major players in Chinese ecommerce retail. It is possible to connect to platforms such as Taobao, Pinduoduo, and JD.com. Kuaishou is also a cross-industry platform but suffers from a lower purchasing power than Douyin (its audience is younger and living in smaller cities). It is a good platform to promote commoditized or low-priced products
Chinese social media platforms are totally different from the western social media. While Facebook, Youtube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter continue to dominate the western world, China has seen the emergence of many innovative new social platforms, such as Wechat, QQ, Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, etc. These Chinese social websites have hundreds of million users.
