E-comics, short for electronic comics, are digital versions of comic books and graphic novels that can be read on electronic devices such as computers, tablets, smartphones, and e-readers. These digital comics are a modern evolution of traditional print-based comic books.
The global E-comics market was valued at US$ 7200 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 17240 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Market Drivers:
Digital Accessibility: The widespread availability of digital devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and e-readers, has made it easier for consumers to access and read e-comics, expanding the potential audience.
Convenience: E-comics offer readers the convenience of carrying an entire collection on a single device, eliminating the need for physical storage and allowing for on-the-go reading.
Cost Savings: E-comics are often priced lower than their print counterparts, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious readers.
Instant Delivery: Readers can instantly download e-comics from online stores, eliminating the need to wait for physical delivery, which is particularly appealing for readers who want immediate access to new releases.
Interactive Features: Some e-comics incorporate interactive elements, multimedia content, animations, and sound effects, enhancing the reading experience and attracting tech-savvy readers.
Market Restrictions:
Digital Piracy: E-comics are susceptible to digital piracy, which can lead to revenue loss for publishers and creators. Digital rights management (DRM) tools are used to mitigate this issue, but they can also inconvenience legitimate customers.
Device Compatibility: E-comics may be formatted for specific devices or platforms, limiting compatibility. This can be frustrating for readers who own devices that do not support a particular format.
Ownership vs. Licensing: Some e-comics are sold as licenses rather than owned outright. This means that readers may not have full control over their digital comic collections, as access can be revoked by the content provider.
Digital Comics Preservation: Ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of e-comics can be a challenge, as formats and technologies evolve over time.
