U.S. Manga Market Size & Trends
The U.S. manga market size was estimated at USD 887.3 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7% from 2024 to 2030. The growth in the popularity of manga, i.e., graphic reading content, is attributed to original English-language (OEL) manga publications, thrilling stories, and attractive visuals. According to NPD BookScan, sales of print manga titles in the U.S. increased by 3.6 million units in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the previous year. The market expansion is also attributed to the increasing popularity of Japanese pop culture. With the rise of anime adaptations, cosplay communities, and fan conventions, interest in manga has increased among dedicated fans and casual consumers.
Its intensified demand has led to greater accessibility of manga titles in the U.S., with major publishers actively licensing and translating a diverse variety of series to cater to various tastes and preferences. For instance, in May 2023, Viz Media, a U.S.-based manga distributor, announced the launch of its new app called Viz Manga. The app allows subscribers to access English versions of popular Japanese manga published by Shogakukan and Shueisha. It is the first time English translations are available simultaneously with Japanese editions from these publishers on a digital platform. Piracy poses a significant challenge to the market, restraining its growth and profitability.
The widespread availability of pirated manga scans and unauthorized digital copies through online platforms damages the sales of legitimate manga volumes and digital releases, resulting in lost revenue for publishers and creators. Addressing piracy remains an ongoing challenge for stakeholders in this market, requiring collaborative efforts to educate consumers, enforce copyright protection, and provide compelling alternatives that incentivize legal consumption. Manga enthusiasts often collect physical volumes of their favorite series, contributing to a strong collector's market for rare editions, box sets, and deluxe releases.
Limited edition merchandise, including figurines, posters, and art books, further fuels this collector's culture, creating additional revenue streams for publishers and retailers. The increasing diversity of manga genres and themes has played a crucial role in attracting a broader audience base in the U.S. Traditional genres, such as shonen (targeted at young male readers) and shojo (targeted at young female readers) remain popular. The market has grown in niche genres, such as isekai (alternate world), slice of life, and LGBTQ+ narratives. This diversity reflects American readers' evolving tastes and interests, contributing to the market's growth.
Market Concentration & Characteristics
The U.S. manga market’s growth stage is high, and the pace is accelerating. The market is characterized by an active and rapidly evolving landscape driven by distinct art styles and narrative conventions and has combined a dedicated and diverse fan base in the U.S.
Publishers employ a variety of marketing tactics to promote manga titles, including influencer partnerships, preview chapters, limited edition releases, and special events. These strategies help generate anticipation for upcoming releases, attracting existing fans and new audiences to the medium. For instance, in July 2023, the Anime Expo was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The convention covers various categories of Japanese pop culture, including panel discussions, industry autographs, cosplay, fashion shows, karaoke, concerts, and butler and maid cafes.
Collaborations between American and Japanese publishers have also contributed to the market growth. Partnerships between companies, such as VIZ Media, Kodansha Comics, and Yen Press, facilitated the licensing and distribution of popular manga titles, ensuring a steady stream of new releases for American readers. For instance, in November 2023, KODANSHA USA PUBLISHING announced nearly a dozen new manga licenses at Anime NYC, with one series available to read digitally the same day as announced and more to come in December 2023 and fall 2024.
Content Type Insights
Based on content type, the market is further bifurcated into printed and digital. The digital content type segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 74.7% in 2023 and is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030. The digital revolution has impacted the manga industry, facilitating the distribution and consumption of manga through digital platforms and services. The introduction of e-readers, smartphones, and dedicated manga apps has made it easier for readers to access manga. Digital distribution provides convenience for consumers and opens up new revenue streams for publishers, offering subscription-based models, digital purchases, and serialized releases. For instance, in May 2023, Kodansha launched a Digital Manga App in the U.S. with 400 titles.
The service comprises applications for Android and iOS, with a web service to follow later. The apps enable manga readers to access chapters of their preferred manga. The printed content type segment is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period as publishers and retailers have actively marketed and promoted manga titles through events, conventions, and partnerships to boost readers' interest. The manga adaptations in other forms of media, such as series and live-action movies, have helped boost the interest in source material, driving the demand for printed manga volumes.
Distribution Channel Insights
Based on distribution channels, the market is further bifurcated into online and offline. The online segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030. The expansion of the online segment is attributed to the increased number of online platforms catering to manga enthusiasts. Platforms, such as Crunchyroll, VIZ Media, and ComiXology, have changed how manga is consumed, offering digital distribution channels that are easily accessible to a broad audience. The growth of e-commerce helped fans to access manga, allowing them to browse and purchase their favorite titles easily. Online distribution channels have continued to grow significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic. The offline segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030.
This is due to complementing digital platforms by providing physical access to manga titles through brick-and-mortar retailers, specialty bookstores, comic shops, and libraries. These offline channels help expand the reach of manga to diverse audiences and enhance the overall consumer experience. Specialty comic book stores offer a curated selection of manga titles and a knowledgeable staff that can provide recommendations and adoptive community engagement through events, such as signings and book clubs. Libraries nationwide actively acquire and promote manga collections, providing free access to manga for consumers and serving as an entry point for new readers. For instance, in June 2023, New England’s largest anime and manga store opened. The shop offers a Japanese pop-culture experience with around 200 classifications, from the classics to modern categories, with 5,000 books and 1,500 titles.
Genre Insights
Based on genre, the market is further caategoried into action & adventure, sci-fi & fantasy, sports, romance & drama, and others. The action & adventure segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023. Collaborations and crossovers with other forms of media, such as video games, movies, and television series, have contributed to the mainstream appeal of manga in the U.S. Popular franchises, such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Attack on Titan, expanded beyond the confines of print, attracting audiences across various entertainment mediums and driving sales of related merchandise. Some action and adventure manga titles have gathered crossover appeal with fans of Western comics, particularly those featuring similar themes of heroism, epic battles, and fantastical worlds.
The romance and drama segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030. This segment is growing as it caters to readers drawn to emotionally engaging narratives, relationships, and character-driven storytelling. Publishers have responded by offering titles featuring LGBTQ+ protagonists, interracial couples, and characters from various cultural backgrounds. The inclusion of diverse representation resonates with readers who want to see themselves reflected in the stories they consume, driving interest and sales within the romance and drama genre.
Gender Insights
Based on gender, the market is further bifurcated into male and female. The male segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023. Manga publishers have recognized the demand for diverse content and have responded by offering a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and romance. This diversity has attracted male readers who may have previously been drawn to traditional superhero comics or other forms of entertainment.
The female segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate from 2024 to 2030. The rise of influential female manga creators in Japan and abroad has contributed to the growth of the female segment. Female mangaka (manga artists) bring exclusive perspectives and storytelling styles to their work, attracting female readers who appreciate seeing their experiences and voices represented in the medium.
Audience Insights
Based on audience, the market is further categorized into children & kids, teenagers, and adults. The adult audience segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023. The increasing availability of diverse genres and themes within the manga industry attracted adult readers. Anime continues to gain popularity in Western markets through streaming platforms, such as Netflix and Crunchyroll, which allows adults to explore the source material in manga form, driving demand for both physical volumes and digital releases.
The children and kids segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The influence of popular manga adaptations in other media, such as animated television shows, movies, and video games, has contributed to the growth of this segment. For instance, in September 2023, Scholastic announced the launch of a new line of kid-friendly manga with the release of Unico: Awakening, a reimagining of Osamu Tezuka's classic, set to arrive in summer 2024.

Raw market data is obtained and collated on a broad front. Data is continuously filtered to ensure that only validated and authenticated sources are considered. In addition, data is also mined from a host of reports in our repository, as well as a number of reputed paid databases. For a comprehensive understanding of the market, it is essential to understand the complete value chain, and to facilitate this; we collect data from raw material suppliers, distributors as well as buyers.
Technical issues and trends are obtained from surveys, technical symposia, and trade journals. Technical data is also gathered from an intellectual property perspective, focusing on white space and freedom of movement. Industry dynamics with respect to drivers, restraints, and pricing trends are also gathered. As a result, the material developed contains a wide range of original data that is then further cross-validated and authenticated with published sources.
Statistical model
Our market estimates and forecasts are derived through simulation models. A unique model is created customized for each study. Gathered information for market dynamics, technology landscape, application development, and pricing trends are fed into the model and analyzed simultaneously. These factors are studied on a comparative basis, and their impact over the forecast period is quantified with the help of correlation, regression, and time series analysis. Market forecasting is performed via a combination of economic tools, technological analysis, industry experience, and domain expertise.
Econometric models are generally used for short-term forecasting, while technological market models are used for long-term forecasting. These are based on an amalgamation of the technology landscape, regulatory frameworks, economic outlook, and business principles. A bottom-up approach to market estimation is preferred, with key regional markets analyzed as separate entities and integration of data to obtain global estimates. This is critical for a deep understanding of the industry as well as ensuring minimal errors. Some of the parameters considered for forecasting include:
• Market drivers and restraints, along with their current and expected impact
• Raw material scenario and supply v/s price trends
• Regulatory scenario and expected developments
• Current capacity and expected capacity additions up to 2030We assign weights to these parameters and quantify their market impact using weighted average analysis, to derive an expected market growth rate.
