Personalization and recommendation algorithms. One way to think of ByteDance is not so much as a creator of content platforms, but as an artificial intelligence laboratory that specializes in developing algorithms that can match users with content, from video and music to news and e-commerce. Get the full report here ByteDance is jockeying for a spot alongside global tech leaders like Google, Facebook, Amazon, as well as their China-based counterparts Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba.

In this report, we look at ByteDance’s expanding product portfolio, highlighting how its core advantages play out in each product. We’ll also examine how the company is expanding its geographic reach, focusing on its expansion in 3 critical markets: China, India, and the US.
