To answer these questions and much more, Ocean Engine gives you instant access to the following whitepaper prepared by Douyin EC Global and Kantar Consulting.

As the advertising and marketing arm of Douyin Group, Ocean Engine empowers brands to deliver ads and drive traffic to their content, livestream shows, or e-commerce storefronts on apps like Douyin and Toutiao.

Douyin EC Global, meanwhile, offers a suite of cross-border e-commerce solutions, including marketing and logistics support, to facilitate brands’ operations on Douyin E-commerce.

Why cross-border e-commerce is booming in China

Cross-border e-commerce in China is growing rapidly, fuelled by the increased investment in infrastructure and incentive policies set by the Chinese Government. The import industry as a whole is expected to see upgrades in consumption, with about 46% of shoppers indicating that they will spend more on imported products in the future.

A complex economic ecosystem has also taken shape in China’s cross-border industry. In particular, omni-channel social e-commerce has built on the traditional shopping model of shelf-based e-commerce and created a new business model that not only supports “people finding products” but also “products attracting people,” unlocking new growth on social commerce platforms like Douyin EC Global.

In addition, powerful new ad platforms like Ocean Engine offer end-to-end solutions for new entrants and established brands to promote their products in China across a network of apps including Douyin, China’s largest video sharing app.
