We’ve been hearing so much about TikTok being one of the most popular platforms in social media for a while now. And that’s why we thought it would be interesting to take a glance over its recent growth patterns in terms of revenue generation trends.
The app has been achieving its fair share of success for quite some time now and most trends of the past saw it curving up, similar to how many would wish to see their business succeed in terms of revenue generation.
Some periods featured more growth than others. And when we go all the way down memory lane to when the app first launched, figures proved how the revenue went up from $2 million in 2020 to $8 million in 2021. But the real surprise or should we say startling point came when the figures rose to $97 million in 2022. And yes, that was the net total so TikTok’s parent firm was going to keep the complete total after tech giant Apple got its own.
When you actually put things into perspective, that’s a whopping 10-time increase. But wait, the celebrations were not too long-lasting because yes, the first quarter of 2022 was huge for the firm but then a few months later, the revenue fell to the figure of $59 million.
It’s a massive hurdle and one that kept the firm thinking about what it could do next. And surprisingly, their hard work went on to pay off. During the start of the first quarter of this year, we saw the company get even more success with revenue striking $298 million and those are per our estimates. For those wondering, it’s not the total that the app makes in China that arises from another platform.
As you can imagine, that’s a lot of funds and there’s a reason why it’s super relevant. The figure is not going to the app but it’s going to creators that turn this platform into a major success.
Remember, they’ve been launching all sorts of cool initiatives including purchases that can be done on the platform through coins that a user purchases and then rewards creators with.
It’s clearly one of the biggest ecosystems seen on mobile devices today which creators may benefit from on the app. Moreover, we’re surprised to learn that tech billionaire Elon Musk is really making heads turn by pushing the app in a direction that users subscribe to and can enable the sharing of ads.
But wait, it does not stop there. TikTok not only managed to break so many records each month but the app’s revenue also reached another major milestone that is huge.
In the past year, we witnessed the company’s total revenue hit the billion mark, all thanks to the sales seen on the App Store where downloads were out of the roof. So ByteDance made a million dollars through the App Store, all thanks to this app.
Since subscriptions don’t come under the in-app purchase category and the app fails in terms of qualifying as a small business initiative by Apple, we can see how the share for the leading iPhone maker in this matter would be close to $430 million.
Today, this platform is number two in the list of apps and games that make the most earnings from all over the globe. The only one that is above it happens to be YouTube. And while both firms have totally different models for doing business, there’s definitely a similar element between the two of them. And it’s the video!
