What Happened on TikTok in 2024?
Video formats continue to reign on TikTok. It’s difficult to dethrone this content, considering it was the network’s first format. However, as the network evolves, images and carousels become more prominent, allowing brands and creators to story-tell differently.
For now, videos are the most shared format on the platform, with an average of 2.62 videos published weekly by accounts. Moreover, accounts with the most followers publish almost one video a day. Meanwhile, images and carousels are barely published once a week, on average.
Regarding interactions, videos sweep the board, achieving almost 60% more than images and carousels. However, images and carousels generate a higher average engagement rate of 6.46%. This suggests that while videos achieve more interactions at large, the image and carousel views-to-interactions ratio is higher.
TikTok videos have greatly evolved from their ‘short-form’ nature. According to the data, the ideal video length is between 2 to 5 minutes, garnering the highest average views.
What stays consistent on the platform is TikTok’s algorithm tendencies, equaling the playing field for any video to reach users, regardless of the owner. By no surprise, the main traffic source is the “For You” page, where TikTok recommends content per user. Accounts with fewer followers receive more than 75% impressions from the “For You” feed, confirming the algorithm’s balanced distributions.
