“We can now launch 100 short dramas every day, and revenue may reach tens of millions of yuan by the end of this year.” Since this year, AI technology has accelerated the development of the comic industry. Recently, domestic comics have been favored by overseas markets and have become a new growth pole for the industry. The head of an AI comic production company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, told the reporter, “The daily revenue from pure subscriptions from overseas is around a few thousand dollars. The revenue in the Southeast Asian market is mainly advertising, and the European and American markets are mainly based on subscription payments. Next year's revenue scale is likely to exceed 100 million yuan.” According to information, at present, about 10 Chinese companies have set up overseas skit platforms, and more than 10 overseas skit apps have launched exclusive AI comic channels, and the number of active overseas AI comic users has exceeded 150 million. Among the top ten paid apps for overseas short dramas, Chinese manufacturers occupy 9 seats. The agency predicts that the overseas short drama market is expected to reach 6 billion US dollars in 2026, of which AI comics are expected to exceed 4 billion US dollars, an increase of about 390% over 2025, and the market share of Chinese manufacturers will exceed 90%.
