These components are influenced by multiple actions and interactions, which include the weakness of cultural industries economy, weak marketing, traditionality, lack of interested and professional businessmen, lack of evolution in creative industries over time and high production costs. There are a series of background conditions in the country that have kept the export of creative cultural industries in a state of stagnation, for which a solution must be found. These conditions include: high costs, sanctions, tendency towards new technologies, lack of suitable educational platforms and lack of native brand.

In the end, neglecting these points has led to consequences such as the loss of the market of neighboring countries, economic poverty, the gradual destruction of creative industries, the departure of artists from the country, the reduction of competition against foreign competitors, and the extensive import of creative industries.
