"Short-form, AI"... Kmong Announces This Year's Rapidly Emerging Business Trends

Short-form Content Transaction Volume Increases 9-Fold
AI and No-Code Related Services Also Stand Out

Kmong announced on the 9th that it has selected the top 5 rapidly emerging business categories of this year to mark the end of the year. The categories that gained attention this year are ▲short-form content creation ▲AI-related design and development ▲no-code based programming ▲organic traffic based on search engine optimization (SEO) ▲work automation materials, with significant increases in transaction volume and service registrations on the Kmong platform.

First, the short-form content creation category saw a ninefold increase in transaction volume compared to the previous year. As content traffic increased on platforms such as Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Naver Clips, the number of short-form content creation services registered on Kmong surpassed 600.

Kmong newly established a category by subdividing and diversifying AI-related design and programming services this year. Demand, which was previously limited to GPT-based chatbot development, expanded to various fields including content creation thanks to advancements in generative AI programs. In particular, advanced AI services such as AI advertising and video production increased sellers’ productivity while showing high satisfaction in terms of cost and work quality. In fact, AI-related search volume increased more than threefold compared to the same period last year, contributing to transaction activation.

No-code based programming is gaining attention for its speed and reasonable cost. Its strength lies in reducing both time and cost by ten times compared to traditional coding methods. Demand for SEO content and know-how also increased. As high-value traffic acquisition strategies gained popularity in digital-based business operations, search volume within Kmong rose more than fivefold.

Kim Taeheon, CEO of Kmong, said, “2024 was a year in which various services on the platform rapidly grew in line with changes in the business environment and digital transformation,” adding, “We will do our best to provide creative and practical services that meet customers’ needs next year as well.”
