This paper first discusses the competitive environment of the short video market when Douyin has launched and the current development status of short video platforms at home and abroad. Secondly, it deeply analyzes Douyin's competitive business strategy in the homogeneous market. Then, based on the SWOT model, the core strategy of Douyin is studied in depth. Finally, it summarizes the reasons why Douyin stands out in the fierce competition environment of the short video industry and makes suggestions for the future development direction of Douyin. This study finds that high-quality content, powerful technology, and innovative business are the basic elements of competition in the short video market, pointing out the direction for the development and foothold of other short video platforms and related industries.
