This year has witnessed an explosive growth phase for AI short dramas. With the reduction of technical barriers, a significant influx of practitioners has entered this field, thereby expanding production capabilities. Consequently, the production cost of standard AI short dramas has seen a dramatic decrease, dropping from 5,000 yuan per minute to just a few hundred yuan, inching closer to the cost baseline. Nevertheless, the price for customized short dramas remains steady at 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per minute. The industry's competitive landscape has shifted its focus from sheer output and pricing to content quality and market reach. It is anticipated that by 2026, the domestic market size for AI dramas and animated series will surpass 40 billion yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of 138%. The overseas market is projected to exceed 4 billion US dollars, capturing nearly 70% of the total overseas micro-short drama market.
