Chinese tech giants from Tencent to Alibaba have reported slowing growth amid a wide-ranging crackdown by the country's regulators who have rolled out new rules that have impacted how such companies carry out deals and interact with their users.
The social media giant retained its second-ranked position in China's online advertising market last year, with a market share of 21%, according to a recent report published by researcher Interactive Marketing Lab Zhongguancun.
The number one position was still held by e-commerce giant Alibaba group, and the third place went to gaming giant Tencent Holdings, according to the report.
The overall growth of online ad sales in China declined to 9.3% in 2021 from 13.8% a year earlier, the report says.
Tech news website The Information last November reported that ByteDance's 2021 revenue was on track to rise about 60% to 400 billion yuan ($63.07 billion).
ByteDance is one of the world's biggest private tech companies with recent trades in the private-equity secondary market valuing it at about $300 billion, Reuters has reported.
A breakdown of TikTok's total revenue last year wasn't available. Besides TikTok, ByteDance's other apps include its Chinese equivalent Douyin, news aggregator Jinri Toutiao and video-streaming platform Xigua.
In 2021, users spent approximately $2.3 billion last year in TikTok and the iOS version<\/a> of its Chinese version Douyin, a 77% jump year-over-year, according to app tracker Sensor Tower<\/a>.
