The market share of the anime industry in Japan is an estimated 2 trillion yen. That’s approximately $18.8 billion USD. While the industry is seemingly thriving some of those within it aren’t seeing the benefits, especially its animators.
According to a 2015 JAnicA survey, the average monthly income for animators in their 20s is about 90,000 yen. That translates to about $800 USD. Based on this information, the majority of young animators in the industry earn less than the average minimum wage worker in Japan. Considering the amount of work animation takes, this is a surprisingly small amount.
According to The Animator Supporters, 90% of animators in the industry quit their jobs within the first three years. The enormous workload and the small pay are just two of the numerous factors that make this such a stressful and difficult profession to sustain for young newcomers. Sadly, their talents go to waste when animators have to quit the industry and us watchers will never see the wonderful content they would have created.
