> The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn—and projected to reach $56bn by 2030.

This is called wishful thinking. The research was ordered by webtoons producers.

These are incredibly agressive growth estimates, but many competitors in the manga/comics space are rushing to grab their proverbial pieces of pie - disclaimer: this is anecdotal from experience working in the field

Those growth estimates are assuming there is more pie.

We've seen this over and over again, from telenovelas to anime to k-drama - the pie is never that large.
