2010 American Anime Market Worth $160-200 Million

Comic culture retail observation website ICv2 has estimated the 2010 retail sales of anime DVDs and BDs in North America to range from $160-200 million, down from a peak of $550 million in 2003. ICv2’s estimate is a rough estimate because the Walmart retail chain does not reveal its anime DVD sales statistics.

In 2009, anime DVD & BD sales in Japan earned 77.7 billion yen ($865 million USD). Remember that Japan is roughly the size of California.
