Anime Market Dynamics

Driver-Increasing Popularity of Anime Content Across the Globe

The rising popularity and sales of Japanese anime content beyond Japan are driving the market expansion. Currently, the Japanese anime market relies heavily on overseas sales of its anime content to generate revenue. Furthermore, internet distribution combined with application gaming is contributing to a larger share of the Japanese anime market's worldwide sales. The increasing penetration of video distribution platforms such as Amazon, Netflix, and Chinese streaming platforms is considerably contributing to the foreign sales of anime content. The rapid expansion of smartphone games developed in Japan, such as Brain Wars, White Cat Project, Monster Strike, and Puzzle and Dragons, among others, is also contributing considerably to the overall market growth. An enormous fan base exists for anime, which is driving its popularity worldwide. A substantial sum of money is being spent on anime content globally, particularly on commercially available series and films. One Piece, Captain Tsubasa, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, Dragon Ball Z, and Detective Conan are a few of the most well-known series. Furthermore, Japanese comic books and animated series, often known as manga, are increasingly popular, and several young creative talents are pursuing jobs in the field of animation.

Driver-Rising Internet Penetration and Growing Demand for Anime-based Content on Digital Platforms

High-speed internet connectivity has become standard for both businesses and individuals due to the ongoing digitization. The continued development of high-speed data networks, as well as the resulting increase in data usage, are particularly fostering the proliferation of anime-based content including T.V. series and movies on OTT platforms. Furthermore, the increasing funding provided by financial institutions toward the development of anime-based content is a major factor boosting the growth of the market. For instance, Kawaii Islands raised USD 2.4 million in September 2021 to develop the next generation of NFT-based anime games wherein players can take part in playing or producing content to make a profit. Furthermore, Ring Games led a USD 5 million fund in January 2022 to develop a block chain game featuring anime-style NFT collectibles characters. In addition, rising consumer awareness of interactive entertainment systems is likely to fuel the market demand. High-speed internet access, efficient hardware compatibility, and increasing consumer disposable income are some of the prime reasons driving the market growth.

Restraint-Low Budget and Shortage of Skilled Animators

The availability of artists is scarce due to low pay and hard-working hours. Despite the fact that a single drawing can take over an hour, the animators who work in between drawings only get paid around USD 2 per drawing. The content developers are not satisfied with their salaries because anime is drawn by talented and experienced artists. As a result, the sector is expected to witness a lack of experienced and qualified artists, in addition to an aging workforce. According to the Japanese Animation Creators Association (JACA), on average, animators in Japan earns USD 14,000 per year in their 20s, USD 19,000 in their 30s, and USD 31,000 in their 40s - 50s. To further develop the animation industry in the coming years, an urgent need to improve the economic base of the animator is required. In addition, owing to the higher workload in the animation industry, specifically in Japan, participation of animators in the profession is significantly less as compared to the projects. Furthermore, there is a long-standing tradition of low costs when production committees decide on the show budget.
