Owl & Co. has projected that short-drama applications, such as ReelShort and DramaBox, are on track to generate a staggering $3 billion in revenue this year outside of China. This figure represents nearly a threefold increase compared to the previous year, highlighting the explosive growth of this niche entertainment sector.
