For foreign investors, it could be perceived as just another Chinese tech unicorn that has undergone an IPO. Among Chinese urban dwellers, however, the app is often labeled as a \u571f<em>tu<\/em> (tacky) app, known for its content showcasing awkward moments and kitsch videos, particularly from rural China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its lack of global popularity, this short-video platform plays a crucial role in representing the diversity of &#8220;ordinary people&#8221; in China. The platform features individuals working on construction sites, residents of lower-tier cities, and those frequently overlooked by both media and brands. In a country where people dedicate an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20231003161110\/https:\/www.ifanr.com\/1254954\">2 hours and 12 minutes daily<\/a> to social media, Kuaishou offers a distinctive space for genuine expressions and stories that extend beyond the glamour of urban life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kuaishou&#8217;s rise and market dominance: from a GIF generator to a social media giant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2011 as a GIF creation and sharing app, Kuaishou transitioned into the <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/short-video-market-china\/\">short-video platform<\/a> we know today in 2012-2013. Its growth surged in 2015, driven by increased smartphone and mobile network penetration, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/rural-consumption-in-china\/\">in rural and lower-tier cities<\/a>. Live-streaming was integrated in 2016, and e-commerce services were launched in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debuting on the stock market <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/02\/05\/kuaishou-ipo-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-tiktok-rival.html\">in 2021<\/a>, Kuaishou boasts one of China&#8217;s most engaged youth demographics, with 300 million <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.kuaishou.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/small-screen-assists-300-million-workers-searching-jobs\/\">daily active users<\/a> in 2023. A major rival to Douyin, the platform expanded its services beyond short video sharing, incorporating live-streaming and e-commerce. In <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.kuaishou.com\/system\/files-encrypted\/nasdaq_kms\/assets\/2023\/08\/22\/3-07-05\/E_891714_KUAISHOU-W_0822_0921_ESS.pdf\">Q2 2023<\/a>, daily active users reached 376 million, marking an 8.3% YoY increase, establishing a new record high. Kuaishou offers a valuable channel for companies to connect with consumers living outside Tier-1 cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, short video sharing, live-streaming, and e-commerce constitute its three primary services. Like Douyin, of the platform is diversifying into other markets such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/big-tech-chinas-online-education-market\/\">online education<\/a>, knowledge sharing, and gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1074\" height=\"784\" src=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Kuaishou\u0393COs-ecosystem.jpg\" alt=\"Kuaishou\u2019s ecosystem\" class=\"wp-image-60687\" style=\"width:536px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Kuaishou\u0393COs-ecosystem.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Kuaishou\u0393COs-ecosystem-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Kuaishou\u0393COs-ecosystem-800x584.jpg 800w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Kuaishou\u0393COs-ecosystem-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1074px) 100vw, 1074px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: Kuaishou\u2019s prospectus, Kuaishou\u2019s ecosystem<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What sets Kuaishou apart from the competition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents of China&#8217;s major urban centers, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, often perceive Douyin as more user-friendly and relatable. Conversely, people in lower-tier cities such as Urumqi and Zhuhai tend to express a preference for the real-time video content offered by this Beijing-based tech company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, while Douyin concentrates on showcasing individuals&#8217; glamorous and luxurious lifestyles, Kuaishou promotes inclusivity by encouraging users to share various everyday life videos, spanning from cooking and cleaning to mundane and non-glamorous subjects. This inclusive approach allows even small and niche brands from rural areas to establish business accounts and garner substantial followings on the platform, often achieving <a href=\"https:\/\/sekkeidigitalgroup.com\/tiktok-kuaishou-hottest-short-video-platforms-for-new-business-opportunity\/\">higher user engagement<\/a> rates than Douyin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rural livestreaming boom: how Chinese farmers thrive on Kuaishou<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the age of six, Ms. Geru Drolma (\u683c\u7ed2\u5353\u59c6) started harvesting fungi in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, following her Tibetan parents&#8217; footsteps to make a living. A video featuring her challenging work went viral on the platform fourteen years later, attracting half a million viewers and propelling her to fame. She gained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohu.com\/a\/277811343_108964\">500,000 views<\/a> and 3,000 new followers overnight after posting one of her first videos. Now with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuaishou.com\/profile\/3xmkkmaebk8hrq6\"> 2.14 million followers<\/a>, Ms. Drolma, as a village vlogger, leverages her popularity to live stream and sell local farm produce, tapping into the growing trend of Kuaishou marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"564\" data-src=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Ms.-Geru-Drolma\u0393COs-Kuaishou-page.jpg\" alt=\"Geru Drolma\u2019s Kuaishou account\" class=\"wp-image-60686 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 936\/564;width:631px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Ms.-Geru-Drolma\u0393COs-Kuaishou-page.jpg 936w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Ms.-Geru-Drolma\u0393COs-Kuaishou-page-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Ms.-Geru-Drolma\u0393COs-Kuaishou-page-800x482.jpg 800w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Daxue_consulting_kuaishou_Ms.-Geru-Drolma\u0393COs-Kuaishou-page-768x463.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: Kuaishou, Ms. Geru Drolma\u2019s Kuaishou account<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She is part of the increasing cohort of farmers capitalizing on China&#8217;s flourishing e-commerce live-streaming trend. According to Kuaishou&#8217;s report in September 2023, the platform facilitated the sale of agricultural goods exceeding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/asia\/east-asia\/village-vloggers-in-china-cash-in-on-livestreaming\">RMB 870 million<\/a> through rural livestreams in 2022, marking a 55% year-on-year surge. Ministry of Commerce data for the first half of 2023 revealed that online retail sales of rural products reached RMB 1.12 trillion, reflecting a 12.5% year-on-year growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should brands market on Kuaishou?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second quarter of 2023, Kuaishou reported that the daily average time spent per DAU on the app was <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.kuaishou.com\/system\/files-encrypted\/nasdaq_kms\/assets\/2023\/08\/31\/5-08-03\/2023083100437.pdf\">117.2 minutes<\/a>, showcasing a consistent increase in user engagement. During this period, online marketing services revenue accounted for 51.7% of the total revenue, reaching RMB 14.3 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tencent&#8217;s 2022 report underscores that residents in lower-tier cities exhibit double the enthusiasm for mobile shopping compared to their top-tier counterparts, indicating a substantial untapped market. This positions the Beijing-based tech company as a valuable avenue for brands looking to raise awareness and connect with consumers in rural and lower-tier areas. Collaborating with content creators from these regions on the platform offers brands an effective channel to showcase products, catering to users interested in authentic rural experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond short videos: Kuaishou\u2019s dynamic e-commerce integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuaishou&#8217;s e-commerce integration serves as a dynamic link between businesses and consumers, enhancing user engagement and driving sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through captivating video content, brands effortlessly showcase their products, encouraging users to explore and make purchases. The collaboration with JD.com broadens the array of offerings, strengthening Kuaishou&#8217;s position as a valuable asset for revenue growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, since the launch of Kuaishou Global in 2020, foreign businesses not based in China can connect directly with Chinese consumers, utilizing the app&#8217;s seamless payment and logistics infrastructure. This innovative feature opens up exciting possibilities for foreign enterprises to access China&#8217;s growing middle-class in lower-tier cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Luxury brands find a home on Kuaishou<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, high-end brands, including luxury and premium cosmetics, faced challenges as consumers associated the app with a rural orientation, posing potential threats to their brand reputations. Nevertheless, the broadcast of Louis Vuitton&#8217;s Spring\/Summer 2022 menswear show on the app indicated a shift. The LV show attracted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossy.co\/fashion\/lv-fatigue-was-louis-vuittons-livestream-on-chinas-lowbrow-kuaishou-a-turning-point-for-luxury\/\">39 million viewers<\/a> on the platform and 41 million viewers on Douyin, according to the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Douyin still achieves more views, <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/chinese-luxury-consumer-demographics\/\">international luxury brands<\/a> are increasingly exploring the lower-tier market in China both offline and online by opening new stores in non-tier one cities and through platforms like Kuaishou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unveiling the untapped potential of Kuaishou<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kuaishou provides a unique space for authentic expressions from overlooked demographics, fostering genuine connections beyond urban glamour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Starting as a GIF creation app, Kuaishou has grown into a major social media platform with 376 million daily active users, offering diverse services beyond short video sharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rise of rural livestreaming on Kuaishou presents opportunities for businesses, as seen in the platform\u2019s role in facilitating significant agricultural sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kuaishou Global enables foreign businesses to tap into China\u2019s vast consumer market, providing a seamless platform with unique payment and logistics infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Despite the initial stigma, luxury brands find success on Kuaishou, and the platform&#8217;s shift in perception makes it an attractive avenue, especially in untapped lower-tier markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kuaishou, a massive short-video app that has already gone public, might not be widely recognized beyond China, unlike Douyin.
