Five years ago, payment for knowledge was a new word in China; five years later, payment for knowledge has become a daily practice for Chinese people.

Since different modes of knowledge payment platforms such as "get APP" and "Zhihu Inc. LIVE" emerged in 2016, China has officially entered the era of knowledge payment.

Under the background that the country pays more and more attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, with the continuous development of Internet science and technology, especially the means of mobile payment is becoming more and more convenient, paying for knowledge has become something that people can achieve "easily", and the thinking of "paying to acquire knowledge" has gradually become a habit.

The essence of knowledge payment is to package knowledge into products or services and realize the commercial realization of knowledge. According to the investigation and Analysis report on the Operation and Development and user behavior of China's knowledge payment Industry in 2020, the scale of China's knowledge payment industry reached 39.2 billion yuan in 2020 and is expected to reach 67.5 billion yuan in 2021.

Last year, the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic brought new development opportunities for the knowledge payment industry. Ai media data show that 63.1% of Chinese users bought knowledge-paid products during the epidemic prevention and control period.

The broad market demand and prospects promote the development of knowledge payment in the direction of specialization and verticalization, and the business realization model is becoming more and more abundant and mature.
