AI is driving the explosive growth of the comic drama industry.

The data shows that in the first half of the year, the total number of online comic dramas exceeded 3,000, with a 12-fold increase in revenue compared to the same period last year and a compound growth rate of supply reaching 83%. Industry insiders estimate that the market size for the whole year is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan. The thriving trend at both ends of the supply and demand in the comic drama track has led some to call this year the "year of comic dramas". The reason why the comic drama track is booming this year, according to industry insiders, is that AI technology is playing an undeniable role, greatly reducing the production threshold and cost of animated content.
