Competitors to iQIYI, Inc. - American Depositary Shares (IQ)

Bilibili 

Bilibili offers a unique platform that combines video streaming with interactive features and community-driven content, primarily focusing on younger audiences. Unlike iQIYI, which emphasizes traditional video-on-demand services, Bilibili prioritizes user engagement through live streaming and user-generated content. This approach has allowed Bilibili to cultivate a loyal fanbase and maintain a competitive edge in attracting the Gen Z demographic. However, its focus on niche content may limit its reach compared to iQIYI's broader offerings.

Tencent Video

Tencent Video is one of China's largest streaming platforms and a direct competitor to iQIYI. Both platforms offer a wide range of video content, including movies, TV shows, and original series. Tencent Video, backed by Tencent's massive ecosystem including social media and gaming, leverages its extensive user base for cross-promotion, giving it a strategic advantage in user acquisition and retention. The integration with other Tencent services enhances the viewing experience, allowing Tencent Video to maintain a competitive edge.

Youku 

Youku, owned by Ali Baba Group, competes with iQIYI by offering a comprehensive range of on-demand video content, including foreign films, television dramas, and user-generated content. Youku benefits from Alibaba's vast e-commerce ecosystem, allowing it to monetize content through advertisement and various subscription models more effectively. This financial backing enables Youku to invest in content production and secure exclusive licensing deals, strengthening its position against iQIYI, though it still trails behind iQIYI in terms of total user base.
