Hainan emerging as hub for export of digital content, culture

HAIKOU, China, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn

Hainan province is doubling down on its digital economy, leveraging free trade port policies and its strategic geographic position to help Chinese digital enterprises go global. From artificial intelligence-powered short dramas to online games and digital literature, the tropical island is rapidly transforming into a launchpad for Chinese content reaching overseas markets.

In a landmark move, the Hainan AI Short Drama Going Global Industrial Base was recently established at the Hainan Free Trade Port Resort Software Community in Chengmai county. As the province's first industrial hub dedicated to using AI for producing and exporting Chinese short dramas, the base is set to become a key platform for Hainan to cultivate the digital culture sector and accelerate the high-quality development of cultural exports.

The timing is critical. The global micro-drama market saw explosive growth in 2025, reaching nearly $18 billion. China alone accounted for over $14 billion, or 77.8 percent of the global total, making it the new growth leader in digital content, according to a report jointly issued by the development research center of the National Radio and Television Administration, Future TV and DataEye.

Outside China, the international market hit $3.6 billion in 2025, with Chinese companies contributing about 90 percent. The top ten overseas short-drama platforms by in-app purchase revenue were all Chinese-backed, generating a combined $1.65 billion — 45.8 percent of the overseas market.

Chengmai is already home to the Hainan Free Trade Port Resort Software Community, one of the first national digital service export bases and the core hub for Hainan's digital culture industry. The community has gathered more than 2,000 digital culture-related enterprises, with a mature ecosystem for game exports.

These advantages are amplified by the free trade port's signature policies, including the "dual 15 percent" corporate and individual income tax caps, streamlined cross-border data flows and an open cultural industry environment — all of which make Hainan fertile ground for AI short drama ventures.

With its favorable policies, digital infrastructure and cultural assets, Hainan is steadily transforming from a tropical resort into a digital-era departure gate for Chinese stories heading overseas. The AI short drama base marks a significant step forward on that journey.

SHENZHEN, China, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- INFiLED will participate in InfoComm Asia 2026, one of Asia's leading professional audiovisual exhibitions, taking place from 15-17 July 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.

This year, INFiLED will deliver an immersive visual experience, showcasing a versatile lineup of innovative LED display solutions designed for commercial, retail, corporate, transportation, and creative display applications.

NX Series: When Creative Forms Need Stable Execution

Among the booth highlights is the newly introduced NX Series, INFiLED's multi-form LED solution for rental applications.

Stage concepts now shift from flat backdrops to curves, corners, offset layouts and scenic structures setups. For production teams, creative freedom only becomes valuable when every form can be installed with confidence and repeated under show pressure.

With precise mechanics, lightweight magnesium-alloy cabinets, and a multi-form ecosystem, NX turns changing creative layouts into stable, controllable LED surfaces. Designers gain freedom in form; crews gain control in execution.

HERA Series: When Indoor Displays Need Cleaner Systems

Making its APAC debut, HERA introduces a more streamlined system architecture for indoor commercial LED projects.

The audience sees the image; integrators work with the system behind it. In retail, corporate and commercial environments, wiring logic, service access, and daily operation often decide whether a display remains efficient long after installation.

HERA's integrated 3-in-1 HUB brings power, signal, and control into one cleaner architecture, while front-side service makes maintenance more direct. The result is a display that looks refined from the front and stays practical from the back.

GeminiLED: When Public Spaces Need Two-Way Visibility

Visitors will also be able to explore GeminiLED, INFiLED's dual-sided, ultra-slim display solution for high-traffic public environments.

In airports, rail stations, retail concourses and open public areas, people pass, cross, pause, and move through the space from different directions. Communication needs to move with them.

With a 25.5 mm profile and 7.7 kg cabinet, GeminiLED supports suspended installation up to 8 m with fewer hanging points. One overhead screen delivers content in both directions, improving visibility and space efficiency in busy public venues.

HaloCrystal: When Transparency Needs Outdoor Strength

HaloCrystal will also be showcased as INFiLED's outdoor rental transparent LED solution for projects that demand open visuals, clean structure, and reliable outdoor performance.

Transparent LED creates a light, see-through effect. Outdoor rental adds height, wind, repeated setup, bright content, flexible layouts and fast service into the equation.

With hidden PDU and accessories, HaloCrystal keeps the transparent frame open and clean. Its 70% transparency preserves the see-through effect, while optional light-blocking panels allow the same screen to shift toward a stronger solid-look presentation. Supported by high-strength profiles, wind bracing, up to 22 m stacking or hanging, HaloCrystal gives transparent LED the strength and practicality needed for outdoor rental use.

Stepping into the Future of Visual Communication

Designed with an open and interactive booth concept, the INFiLED showcase will allow visitors to experience live product demonstrations, explore different display applications, and speak directly with the team about project requirements and solutions.

With a growing presence across the APAC region, INFiLED APAC remains focused on delivering reliable LED display solutions backed by localized support, technical expertise and long-term collaboration.
