Digital comics have been made in a variety of forms since the late 1990s as Internet has grown in popularity and analog content has been more digitalized. Webtoons comprise vertically arranged images in which users can scroll from top to bottom which enables creators to show one large-size image on mobile or tablet.

Over the last few years, changes have also been made to the topics and target audience. Webtoons began as simple, cheerful stories about ordinary life and personal experiences. They were put on personal blogs and popular websites by unknown people and quickly disseminated among web users. As webtoons became more widely available on the Internet, the storylines got more narrative-driven and dramatic, with more complex pacing. Internet portals have enabled a rising number of authors, both new and established, to earn money from webtoons (compensation or profit-sharing), maintaining a steady supply of content under the user-created content model.

Moreover, webtoon content and platforms represent a unique content genre and distribution system developed in Korea. What users enjoy today is the result of years of optimization and transformation in areas such as platform services, content supply systems, storylines, and formats. Korea is indeed the global trendsetter in all aspects of webtoons.

Europe market is projected to be the fastest growing by registering highest CAGR as webtoons are being produced in French, Spanish, and German languages.
