Animation production companies in Japan generated a revenue of almost 77 billion Japanese yen through domestic television broadcasting in 2018. The overseas market accounted for the second highest share with more than 60 billion Japanese yen. 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 that accounted only for companies that engaged in the actual production of animation.
