Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and user engagement analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 50+ key platforms and publishers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across web-based platforms, mobile applications, and social media distribution channels
Monetization model analysis across subscription services, ad-supported platforms, one-time purchases, and crowdfunding mechanisms
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to webcomic and digital content portfolios
Coverage of platforms representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (active user base × ARPU by country) and top-down (platform revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for action, fantasy, romance, comedy, horror genres, and demographic segments including children, teenagers, young adults, and adults
