A substantial impediment for the anime market is the high production costs involved in creating quality anime content. The intricate animation techniques, detailed character designs, and elaborate storytelling in anime can be time-consuming and expensive, leading to constraints in production budgets for studios and creators.
The prevalence of piracy in the anime industry poses another challenge for market growth. Illegal distribution of anime content through unauthorized websites and file-sharing platforms has resulted in revenue losses for the industry and creators, hindering the potential growth and profitability of the anime market.
