Anime production companies in Japan generated a revenue of more than 76 billion Japanese yen via overseas sales in 2020. As anime in Japan are usually produced by production committees consisting of multiple corporations from different industries, such as toy makers and music companies, the sales revenue of Japan's animation industry as a whole was larger than the revenue recorded by companies that engaged in the actual production of animation.
