The Impact of Consumption Habits on the Development of Cultural Industries: Based on Live Performances

Abstract

With the rapid rise of cultural and creative industries worldwide, research on these sectors has become increasingly important. Existing studies have predominantly focused on the impact of emerging technologies on the development of creative industries or the influence of these industries on consumers and other sectors. However, there is a notable research gap concerning the impact of consumer behavior on industry development, particularly regarding the mechanisms by which market consumption habits influence this process. This paper addresses this gap by examining the live performance industry to explore the formation and characteristics of cultural consumption habits and their effects on the development of the cultural industry. Utilizing literature review and qualitative analysis methods, this study finds that cultural consumption habits are crucial drivers of the development of cultural industries, particularly the live performance sector. These habits not only enhance the market’s resilience to risk but also support industry innovation. The cultivation and enhancement of consumption habits play an irreplaceable role in the long-term, healthy development of the cultural industry. Additionally, this paper proposes two strategic directions for strengthening these consumption habits, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in the cultural sector.
