TikTok Creative Center data, collected by Vira's own account via Creative Search Insights, filtered to this country's own search-demand series (not global demand). Mixes every category — for a single-category view across all countries, see the niche reports instead. Growth = 7/14/21-day median vs. prior period, shown only when trust is medium or high. Video count as reported by TikTok; "not reported" (video_num=0) means TikTok did not report a count for that topic, not zero competition. Updated daily.
