China cultural and digital industry growth
Overview
China’s cultural and digital sectors have demonstrated steady growth. In the first half of 2026, large-scale cultural enterprises reported a 4.6% year-on-year revenue increase, totaling 720.26 billion yuan. Within this sector, “new cultural business” sub-categories grew by 9.6%, driven by significant gains in digital publishing, copyright services, and internet advertising.
This upward trend is further reflected in the digital gaming market, which saw revenues exceed 350 billion yuan in 2025, a 7.68% annual increase. The industry is increasingly focusing on the integration of modern technology with traditional Chinese culture, a theme exemplified by the international success of ‘Black Myth: Wukong.’ This focus on blending technological innovation with cultural identity is expected to be a central theme at the upcoming 16th China International Digital Publishing Exhibition.
