The looming threat of a business ban on TikTok in the United States is driving millions of users and advertisers to seek alternatives to the popular short video platform, presenting a significant opportunity for rivals such as YouTube and Meta.

Data released by Sensor Tower in March indicates that, over the past 90 days, nearly 94% of TikTok users in the U.S. have begun using Alphabet’s YouTube. Additionally, 80% of TikTok users have shifted their attention to Instagram, 68% to Facebook, and 55% to Snapchat.
