Market Drivers:

Technological Innovation: Technological Innovation. In recent years, great progress has been made in technologies such as real-time rendering, motion capture, face recognition and character modeling, which have provided underlying support to solve the shortcomings of virtual idols in terms of appearance, movement and interaction, and have made up for the shortcomings in the development of virtual idols. Boards, coupled with the widespread application of machine learning (AI) technology, are driving the development of virtual idols into a new stage.

Cultural Advancement: Cultural advancement. As the idol industry and fan culture continue to intensify, the emergence and rise of virtual idols in the digital society is inevitable.

On the one hand, with the frequent occurrence of illegal and unethical incidents of celebrity artists in reality, people's trust in real celebrities continues to decline, and "virtual idols" may be the best substitute. In this era of focusing on "personality", real-person idols often face the phenomenon of "personality collapse", while virtual idols will not have negative news such as scandals and appearance changes, and they will feel more secure when cooperating with companies and fans to chase stars.

On the other hand, in a media-based society, with the help of the powerful power of modern media and all-round commercial packaging, the cultural industry creates virtual idols that are similar to real idols. They cater to the public's needs for a specific image at a specific time and satisfy people's expectations and fantasies. In addition, the unique UGC production method of virtual idols also gives fans different ways to get along with each other. When chasing traditional real-person idols, it is even more difficult to meet real people. However, virtual idols can use technological means to accompany fans to drink coffee, chat, etc., to meet the psychological needs of fans.

Emotional Projection: Emotional projection. Consumption behavior in contemporary society is no longer a simple "passive" procedure to meet needs, but an "active" relationship model. This kind of consumption behavior is like this between fans and virtual idols. They break the barriers of space and present them in fragmented ways in the virtual space. The audience continues to consume and imagine different fragments based on their own interests.

In this process of continuous fragmentation and modification, the textual importance of virtual idols increases, and the connection between virtual characters and audiences becomes closer. Fans feel that their relationship with virtual idols is more equal than with real celebrities. The reason why a virtual idol generates value and becomes a popular IP is that people imagine it, and it becomes real and concrete due to imagination. People's emotional projections on it are layered, giving meaning and connecting with it.



Challenges and Restraints:

Core User is fewer and the main users of virtual YouTuber are ACGN fans.

High operating costs. The production cost of 2D virtual idols is relatively low, and some are even free. The production cost of 3D virtual idols is relatively high. To make a profit through Vtuber, a lot of digital content is needed, such as videos, pictures, copywriting, etc. These costs are very high.

Difficult to be profitable in the short term. It is less than 30% of the tens of thousands of vtubers that can make profits, and is currently facing the dilemma of difficulty in making profits.

The monetization method for virtual anchors is relatively simple. As mentioned above, virtual anchors are at a disadvantage in the competition with real-life celebrity idols, so even virtual anchors from companies with more abundant resources (either launched by the company or backed by the company) appear to be "lack of imagination" in how to monetize "In addition to sharing income from live broadcast rewards, their main way to monetize is through endorsement ads and event guests. Although some heads among heads may still hold concerts and publish albums, they are still in the minority.

As each platform continues to strengthen its head virtual anchors, the Matthew effect of virtual anchor income becomes more and more obvious. Taking bilibili as an example, among the more than 30,000 virtual anchors at Station B as of May 2021, the top virtual anchors accounting for 0.3% took away more than 90% of the income. Correspondingly, more than half the monthly income of virtual anchors is 0.
