Comics in Printing Business - Topics, Trends, Ideas to Inspire and Scale Up

Posted by Multi Programming Solutions on October 6th, 2021

The market for original comic art continues to attract the fans\' attention, despite an almost year-long break in exhibitions, auctions, and thematic shops. For artists, 2021 has become a time of experimentation, following new trends, and expanding their online presence. The Multi-Programming Solutions editorial office investigated the topic.    

The mobile and digital approach to comics distribution became iconic in 2021. The number of impulse purchases possible through physical contact with the product dropped sharply, but cost savings and hassle offset it. For example, Kuaikan, the largest mobile comic book app in China, has recently closed a 0 million deal. The website’s audience includes over 340 million users, of which 50 million are monthly active visitors. Moreover, the print on demand comics fulfillment services are estimated to have reached 5 million, not counting peripheral revenue streams from merchandise or high-profile film deals. Thus, the industry continues to develop, and the target audience\'s age is no longer the younger generation but millennials under the age of 25. 

A wide range of genres and styles ranging from historical adventure to romance, humor, and life stories have become extremely popular, especially when considering the possibility of on demand comic book printing. After reading mobile editions, many fans return to the published material - magazines that they can collect, archive, or ask the creators to sign. The tangible and collectible nature of the medium adds value.
