Welcome to the PAGE Network!

With the diversification of web novel platforms, the recognition of web novels that have not received much attention in the content market is increasing. The web novel market is growing rapidly becuase of mobile technology has developed and people prefer content that can be enjoyed lightly like snack culture trend. Please see below for details

Content Market Trend

Embrain Trend Monitor, a market research company, researched a U&A survey on web novels with 1,000 adults between the ages of 19 and 59 nationwide. As a result, it was found that the future prospects for the web novel market are being evaluated well as mobile has developed and the tendency to prefer light content is strong.

Interest in web novels was rated at 51.2%, and subscription experience was also found at 52.3%, half of the total respondents. In particular, the subscription experience of women and the 2030 generation was high. As such, it can be seen that the content is mainly used by the generation called the MZ generation, and the younger generation is using it a lot.

On the other hand, it was found that most of those who have experience subscribing to web novels are subscribing to web novels through smartphone devices. In addition, it was noted that they are acquiring information related to web novels by using Internet communities/boards (43.6%, duplicate responses), Twitter/Instagram (32.7%), YouTube (27.3%), and cafes/blogs (26.2%). Looking at it, it can be inferred that the development of digital/mobile devices is supporting the current web novel market.

And based on the high quality web novel contents, it was possible to see the prospect that the position of web novels in the Korean content market will further increase in the future. In addition, it can be confirmed that there is a high intention to use various contents such as movies and dramas based on web novels.

It can be predicted that there is a high possibility that web novels will receive more attention in the content market in the future.
