The early form of the live streaming industry originated from voice chat services. In 2005, internet demands began transitioning toward social entertainment, prompting the evolution of live streaming formats from audio to video. By 2009, China's earliest enterprise live streaming service provider, Zhanshi Hudong, was established. It pioneered PC-based solutions by integrating offline commercial activities, content dissemination services, virtual conferences, online video marketing platforms, and educational live streaming—laying the foundation for enterprise live streaming. After over a decade of rapid development, service providers have maintained openness while progressively refining the industry ecosystem. This facilitated their transformation from live streaming platforms to deep-application service providers for enterprises, integrating big data, AI, and 5G technologies to deliver more refined and customized services.
Currently, next-generation information technologies are extensively converging with the real economy. New industrial models and formats—such as industrial internet, smart manufacturing, and vehicle-infrastructure coordination—continue to evolve. Data integration and platform empowerment have become pivotal in driving industrial digitalization, which is now exploring deeper and broader domains. Live streaming, due to its strong compatibility with traditional enterprises, readily integrates with internal business frameworks to reduce costs and enhance efficiency, thereby emerging as an effective tool for corporate digital transformation.
