## Summary

German Gen Z (16–24) consumes TikTok at a dramatically higher rate than every other age group. The median viewer in this cohort watches 2,042 videos per week, compared to just 371 for 35–44-year-olds and roughly 470 for the 55+ demographic. This volume gap reflects session intensity and frequency rather than slower viewing speed — watch time per video is remarkably consistent across age groups at approximately 11 seconds.

## Chart

Bar chart showing median TikTok videos watched per active user-week by age group. The 16–24 cohort reaches 2,042 at the top, with a sharp drop to 969 for 25–34, then 371 for 35–44. The 45–54 and 55+ groups track at 378 and 489 respectively, showing a slight reversal at the highest age range.

This age gradient reflects documented global behavior: Gen Z users aged 18–24 report spending approximately 90 minutes daily on TikTok, significantly above older cohorts. In the German market, where TikTok has achieved 86% penetration among 18–24-year-olds, the platform functions as a primary social and discovery channel for youth, driving the volume differential.
