What this basis means: Third-party research vendor estimate. The vendor is named wherever the source identifies it.

Dentsu's annual Entertainment Spotlight study, released on 8 October 2026 ahead of Mipcom Cannes, reports that one in five consumers now watch microdramas. Dentsu's summary page gives a sample of 8,400 consumers across 12 markets, which it does not name, and says 50% of microdrama viewers would research a brand featured in a title.

Satellifacts reported on 9 October 2026 that 8% of French respondents watch microdramas, with 5% saying they watch often and 3% regularly. The trade outlet also said China is the territory where the format is most popular.

The French and 12-market figures come from different bases and are not directly comparable.
