Press Release

Global Comic Book Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.9% During 2024-2032, Driven by Growing Demand for Creative Educational Tools Among Parents and Educators

Global Comic Book Market

According to a new report by EMR titled, ‘Global Comic Book Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032’, the global market size for comic books reached a value of more than USD 1.30 billion in 2023. The global comic book market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 1.98 billion by 2032.

Educators and parents recognise the educational value of comic books, which supports the comic book market demand. The visual narratives offer an innovative approach to learning, ideal for reluctant readers. The combination of images and text helps enhance vocabulary, encourages visual storytelling skills, and reinforces comprehension. Comic books with diverse themes and topics are widely found in school libraries.

 

Further, the rising popularity of smartphones and the internet is driving the demand for digital comic books among kids and adults. Digital comics allow consumers to read their favourite titles on their tablet, computer, or smartphone from anywhere, eliminating the need to carry around physical copies. Investing in comic books is popular among adults as well. Short-term comic book investors buy comic books before they are popular at around USD 4 and sell them at the peak of their popularity for USD 50- USD 100.

 

Both chain and independent bookstores, along with online retailers such as Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), play crucial roles as major distributors of comic books on a global scale. Online platforms dedicated to comic book sales offer readers an extensive catalog featuring a wide array of titles, encompassing iconic superheroes from publishers like Marvel or DC Comics.
