The festival also highlighted the growing importance of Chinese content in the global market. The Shanghai TV Market debuted a new dual-venue format, with separate spaces for international company pavilions and a dedicated arena for Chinese content sellers. This move is seen as a significant step towards increasing Chinese content sales overseas.

Aidan Gillen, star of "Game of Thrones" and "Peaky Blinders," also attended the festival, where he discussed the golden age of British drama and the challenges of the current TV landscape. Gillen argued that there is too much content being produced, making it difficult for audiences to find quality programming.
