Key Market Segmentation

The market is segmented by type (non-digital and digital), and product type (hard copy, e-book, and audiobooks),

The market share growth by the non-digital segment will be significant during the forecast period. Non-digital comics refer to printed comics that are available in comic bookstores and online platforms such as Amazon. Demand for comics that do not exist in digital form is also increasing globally. This is due to the growing interest in anime and related manga. However, with the growing demand for digital comics, the non-digital segment is expected to lose market share during the forecast period.

Regional Market Outlook

By geography, the market is segmented by APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa.

APAC is estimated to contribute 72% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. The key factor for the growth in the region is the increasing demand for manga and anime content. For example, Japanese manga has been famous for a long time and today it has become popular all over the world. The main source of income in the region is the production and popularity of anime. In addition, the growing number of publishers and distributors, the increasing use of online distribution channels, and the increasing demand for comic books are other factors driving the demand in the market. Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth in the region during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Key Drivers

The success of TV shows and movies based on comic books is a key factor driving market growth. As television and film attract more audiences, they will increase interest in existing comic books that have been adapted. Thus, increasing sales and revenue for publishers and retailers. In addition, the success of the adaptations also encourages publishers to produce more content in print and electronic formats so that it attracts a wider audience. Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Major Trends

The growing popularity of Indie comics is a major trend in the market. An indie comic is a type of independent comic self-published or distributed by small independent publishers that focus on specific stories and content, often referring to social norms but also representing many different perspectives and communities. The democratization of publishing made possible by digital platforms is one of the main drivers of indie comics. Furthermore, this resulted in a growing readership, ranging from casual readers to comic book enthusiasts.

Significant Challenges

The integration issues associated with digital comic books are significant challenges restricting market growth. Effective use of the digital comic platform requires integrating it with different channels. This can lead to high implementation costs. Comic booksellers have to invest a lot of time and money in coding the software needed to integrate digital comics effectively. In addition, comic book sellers who provide mobile apps for comics need to invest heavily in app development. Hence, such integration issues are expected to limit the growth of the comic book market during the forecast period.
