Generation Z, which refers to people born in the mid-1990s and the early 2010s, are now dominating China's digital reading market, as 70 percent of the nation's more than 500 million digital readers are younger than 26 years old, according to a new report.
About 45 percent of digital readers in China are aged between 19 and 25, and about 27 percent of them are under the age of 18, according to the 2021 China Digital Reading report released by China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association on Saturday.
