In October 2025, Sweden had around 3.51 million TikTok users, while Norway was home to approximately 1.8 million TikTok users. Denmark and Iceland had 1.49 and 160,000 TikTok users, respectively. TikTok is a video-sharing social app launched in 2017 and is owned by the Beijing-based tech company ByteDance.

TikTok demographics and engagement

TikTok user base across Nordic markets is equally distributed across male and female users alike. However, Denmark registered the highest proportion of female users in the region, approximately 52 percent. The social video app's appeal varies significantly across age groups, with young users and Gen Z responding very positively to the appeal of the TikTok short video format. A 2023 survey conducted in Sweden revealed that 66 percent of internet users aged 15-24 engaged with TikTok daily, compared to only 15 percent of users aged 25-44. Similarly, over half of internet users aged between 15 and 19 accessed TikTok daily in Denmark, while engagement among users aged between 20 and 24 interested approximately one-third of the demographic group. 

YouTube use and demographics in the Nordics

 Despite its increasing popularity, TikTok still trails behind YouTube when it comes to viewership. As of January 2024, Sweden had approximately 8.5 million YouTube users, nearly 2.5 times its TikTok user count. Norway and Finland each had around 4.5 million YouTube users, significantly outpacing their respective TikTok audiences. As in the case of TikTok, YouTube's user base in the Nordics is evenly split between men and women engaging with the video platform. Additionally, YouTube popularity was not restricted to the younger segments of Swedish demographic groups, as over six in 10 Swedish internet users were reported engaging with YouTube daily.
