TikTok aims to help marketers stay ahead in 2021 with a new report on top trends. TikTok’s new trend report provides insight into the types of content likely to generate the most engagement in 2021.
Knowing which topics are resonating with TikTok users can help marketers stay ahead on the platform and connect with more consumers. TikTok analyzed a year’s worth of performance data to identify which categories grew the most and which ones remained consistently popular throughout 2020.
These categories will continue to shape the platform in 2021, but at the same time, we expect the TikTok community to come up with many more new trends and topics. They always do.
The report begins with a big picture look at the top ten most popular content categories, and top ten growth categories. TikTok’s trend report branches off into a collection of regional reports where marketers can learn what audiences in their geographic area are interested in.
