Global Comic Book Market Overview

The Comic Book Market is expected to grow at a significant growth rate, and the analysis period is 2022-2028, considering base year as 2021.

A comic book or comicbook referred to as the comic magazine or simply comic, is a publication that comprises comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are often accompanied by brief descriptive prose and written narrative, usually dialog contained in word balloons representative of the comics art form. The comic book industry has created familiar cultural icons such as Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the X-Men. The comic book first came out in the 1930s was very similar in the form of its present-day embodiment. There is a growing demand for comic books in different regions owing to the expansion of e-commerce stores over the world.

Most people choose to purchase these books online as they get to choose from a wide variety of books based on various subjects such as history, science, fiction, and others. In addition, several e-commerce platforms such as Amazon Kindle, Flipkart, and others provide large discounts and different payment options while purchasing the books online, which is the major factor for the growth of this market. Moreover, many prominent companies in this market are targeting arranging public events and seminars, such as Comic-Con, to develop their comics brand in this market, which leads to the growth of the market. For instance, the comic book store market share in the United States in 2021 as per Statista that Marvel Comics' dollar sales share in comic stores estimated to 32.2 percent in the second quarter of 2021. Ranked second that quarter was DC Comics, with a market share of 24.3 percent. Both companies enter for the top spot each month and command far larger shares than their smaller rivals.

Market Dynamics And Factors For The Comic Book Market

Drivers:

The increase in popularity of movies, TV shows, video games, and anime series based on comic books has built up to precipitating the growth of the comic book industry. Furthermore, the release of more merchandise, such as new Marvel Legends Action Figures and more high-quality Marvel Select Action Figures, based on comic book characters, has contributed to reactivating people's interest in superheroes. A rising interest in superhero characters among customers will enable the comic book industry to have a bright future. The future of the comic book industry will obtain far more than just single-issue comic books. The interest in comic book-based media grows, more customers will take attention in moistening into reading comic books or graphic novels that feature their favorite superhero characters. Customers love learning regarding the lore of their favorite comic book characters and are all the more inclined to read comic books when comic book-based media leaves many of their pressing questions about their favorite comic book characters unanswered.

Technological developments are profoundly switching the comic book industry and are providing it all the more technology-driven. Sales of digital comics have also been on the rise. Many miserable comic book fans who were on home lockdown during the onset of the pandemic fed their monthly comic fix by purchasing digital comics. Consequently, 2020 produced $160 million in digital sales, an increase of 33% from 2019, and the highest yearly sales ever for digital comics. Not only have readers switched their preferences on how they decide to read comics, but they've also changed their preferences from where they decide to purchase them as well. Since 2019, book channels have removed traditional comic book stores to become the leading source of comic book sales. Sales of comics through book channels have raised by more than 50% since 2017. In 2020, book channels produced a surprising $645 million in comic sales, while comic book stores registered for only $440 million in sales.

Restraints:

According to Bleeding Cool, the manga drought hit the comics industry this year and is still influencing the ability of comic stores and book stores to get manga stock, printed in East Asia, into shops. As demand for comic books of all descriptions has increased across the pandemic, unfortunately, the capacity to print and distribute comic books has been hampered. Nevertheless, the availability of alternate entertainment media channels such as television and others are anticipated to hamper the growth of the comic book market during the forecast period.

Opportunities:

The Graphic-Novel Format is Becoming Highly Accepted

Customers love graphic novels, especially since they can feature the contents of numerous comic books apart from a beloved comic book series. Graphic novels can also provide far more content to readers than single-issue comic books. The huge change to graphic novels as the preferred format for comics continued in 2019, bringing sales in the book channel above the comic store channel in North America for the first time in the history of the medium.  The behemoth comic book industry reveals no signs of slowing down anytime in the coming future. Comics and graphic novel sales had their best year ever in 2019, as per the report by ICv2 and Comichron, with sales topping $1,210,000,000 in 2019 (MacDonald, 2020) in the North America market. Overall sales were grown 11% from 2018 in North America. The strong growth of graphic novels in bookstores aided the way for the rise, but periodical sales in comics shops were also up. For the first time, book channel sales lead the direct market. Comic shop sales in 2018 were $510,000,000 and were grown to $525,000,000 in 2019.

Trending Content Are Becoming More Popular

Children's comics, which are almost exclusively sold in the graphic-novel format, have exceeded superhero comics this year as the most popular genre, as per ICv2. "Superheroes have dominated the comics business for as long as I have been in it, but some amazing things are happening with kids' content," according to the ICv2 President Milton Griepp. Moreover, comic book series will be further expanded in the coming years which will enable the comic book industry to continuously provide the latest and trending content to declare comic book fans. In addition, the vigorous growth of the comic book industry in the coming years will be partially turned by its ability to produce more commendable content that entices customers to dabble into reading more comic books or graphic novels.

Market Segmentation

Global Comic Book Market Research report comprises of Porter's five forces analysis to do the detail study about its each segmentation like Product segmentation, End user/application segment analysis and Major key players analysis mentioned as below;

Segmentation Analysis of Comic Book Market:

Based on the Type, the physical comic book segment is expected to dominate the Comic book market over the forecast period. Physical comics are not much more costly than their digital equivalent, and picking up new comics at your local shop can be as enjoyable as actually reading them. Most digital comics are not developed to be read on a device, so they function primarily as physical books. Digital and physical comic books are costly. While digital comics still require distribution, it's nowhere near as widely or time-consuming as print. On digital, you're paying for timeliness. Comics from Marvel and DC are generally accessible for the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) of the physical comics; prices only decline after some time.

Based on the Distribution Channel, the Comic Bookstore segment is expected to hold the maximum Comic book market share during the forecast period. Comic book sales shifted from convenience stores to comic book stores while book stores always focused on selling books. Alone, comic book stores in North America were unable to make out a niche for themselves in the fantasy, horror, sci-fi, anime, movie-crossover world with new comics as well as merchandise, collectible toys, and figurines, art, games, and re-sale comics. They also managed to expand a strong customer base/community of readers, artists, collectors, modelers, fans of cult-status titles, artists, writers, movies, whatever. Regular and online book stores still do not carry individual comic book problems which means no early competition for the comic book stores.

Based on the End-User, the kid segment is projected to register a higher market share for the comic book market during the forecast period. Comic books are art, art that is developed in the best way to support children learn and grow; visual stories in them have a stronger and staying influence. The ultimate coincident integration of visual and verbal communication in comic books helps in emerging visual thinking skills and fosters curiosity in children.

Regional Analysis of Comic Book Market:

In the North America region, as per the ICv2/Comichron report, sales in the bookstore channel (which includes physical stores and online retailers) augmented remarkably over comics shop market share; digital sales were expanded and the popularity of graphic novels (or book format comics) over periodical comics also expected to grow. Sales of children's and young adult graphic novels by mass market and online retailers accelerated sales growth in the early stages of the pandemic and as the shutdowns continued, streaming anime drove manga sales to new highs, the report said. Combined sales of comics periodicals and graphic novels in North America continued to climb in 2020, gaining approximately $1.28 billion, as per the joint estimate by pop culture trade news sites ICv2 and Comichron. The latest estimate represents a 6% increase over 2019 combined sales. Moreover, there is a rising demand for film-based comic books in the US, which has led to the growth of this market in this region. For instance, Avengers: Endgame is the highest-grossing superhero movie to date.

In Europe, the rising popularity of comic-based films, television series, and videogames have helped to raise the consciousness of comic book characters beyond the 300,000 or so customers who visit their local comic shop. This in turn is anticipated to turn the growth of the comic book market.

The Asia Pacific is another region that is set to post significant growth in this market owing to the printing of various articles and magazines associated with comics in India, Japan, and others. Moreover, many major companies in this market are targeting producing racially diverse comic book content, which has resulted in the growth of this market in this region.

COVID-19 Impact on Comic Book Market

The comic book industry, like so many others over the globe, has felt the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Pandemic has made this last year difficult for every aspect of the industry, including event coordinators, comic book shop owners, and even the creators themselves. Comic books have maintained their popularity for decades by providing fans a fun escape from their everyday lives with fantastic tales of heroes taking on their villains and overcoming any adversity thrown at them. But last year, that difficulty made its way into real life in the form of the global coronavirus pandemic.  In March, when COVID-19 hit the comic industry in earnest, many retailers and publishers hesitated it would be a desperate event for the business. Stay-at-home orders shuttered stores, and shipments of new products terminated for several months when Diamond Comics Distributors hit pause.

Furthermore, stores have fought to survive, and some have shuttered forever. According to ICv2 President Milton Griepp, in the opening months of 2020, the comic book market appeared assured to grow on its record-setting $1.21 billion sales level set in 2019, but the appearance of COVID and the local shutdowns sent sales into a downward spiral. That stimulated through the seven weeks in April and May when Diamond, at that time the comic industry's only distributor for periodicals, shut down operations to secure the health of its workforce, leaving retailers with no new product to sell. Nevertheless, months after the comic book industry began accompanied by a publicity campaign indicating that the industry's "comeback will be bigger than the setback” there are multiple signs that comics has proven to be far stronger than anyone, including those inside the industry, anticipated in the face of an uncertain year.
