Japanese anime industry is earning more money than ever, almost half of it from outside Japan soranews24.com

The Association of Japanese Animators conducts a yearly study of industry earnings, calculating data from roughly 150 significant anime-related companies.
It’s just released its 2019 report, which found that for the sixth year in a row, the total size of the anime industry grew.
That figure indicates that 46 percent of revenue came from outside Japan, making the overseas market nearly as important as the Japanese one for the anime industry.
However, while the anime industry may be bigger than ever, the reports figures don’t necessarily mean it’s healthier than ever.
