4月16日周三盘中，爱奇艺（IQ）股价大跌5.14%，引发市场关注。虽然没有直接相关的公司公告，但分析人士认为，这可能与视频流媒体行业竞争格局的变化有关，特别是短剧市场的激烈竞争。
据报道，爱奇艺的竞争对手优酷近期宣布成立"微短剧中心"，大力布局短剧业务。这一举动凸显了短剧市场的重要性和潜力。事实上，爱奇艺已经在短剧领域进行了较深入的布局，其极速版APP即将更名为"爱奇艺微短剧"。行业数据显示，2024年中国微短剧市场规模已达505亿元，首次超过电影票房规模，预计未来还将继续增长。
然而，随着优酷等竞争对手加大对短剧的投入，爱奇艺可能面临更大的压力。虽然爱奇艺目前在月活用户数量上仍领先优酷（3.54亿vs 1.84亿），但整个在线视频行业都面临着用户增长放缓的挑战。此外，专注于短剧的新兴平台如"红果免费短剧"的快速崛起，也对传统长视频平台构成威胁。投资者可能担心，激烈的市场竞争将影响爱奇艺的用户增长和盈利能力，从而导致股价下跌。
