The market size of the content marketing industry has experienced fluctuations in the past five years, growing from RMB286.3 billion in 2017 to RMB312.0 billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 1.7%. From 2017 to 2019, the overall content marketing industry went through stable growth due to the continuous growth of cultural and entertainment consumption of Chinese citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic led to suspension of offline activities and the market size has represented a downward trend in 2020. The market has bounced back in 2021 at RMB317.9 billion due to the control of the pandemic. However, the market size of marketing campaign planning and execution industry has declined to RMB312.0 billion in 2022 due to the spread of Omicron carient in 2022. As travel restrictions have been released at the end of 2022, the Company believes the market is will recover rapidly along with the iteration of traditional marketing campaign planning, empowerment from new technology, and prosperity of the economy. The market size of content marketing in the PRC is expected to reach RMB419.1 billion in 2027, representing a five-year CAGR of 6.1%. For more information, please see Industry Review on page 71.
