- If you did manage to somehow obtain revenue information from key companies around the world, would the numbers be reliable/verifiable enough to support an educated guess?
I ask because XBIZ is interested in getting to the bottom of this fascinating topic. |
1. To the point... NO it is nearly impossible to make an educated guess on the size of the global porn industry. That is unless you consider "Anywhere from $5 billion to $25 billion" annually as an educated guess. There are TOO many private companies and TOO many revenue streams being generated on a global level for anyone, even those that have been in this industry for 10 to 15 years, to be able to quantitatively predict the size of this industry.
2. Again to the point... NO. We are all aware of who the major players are in the industry and know that these are privately held businesses that will never release any accurate and verifiable numbers.
Bottom line the pie is still HUGE and the businesses that find their true calling, dig in for the long haul, listen to what their customers want and then provide a product with the proper price to value relationship should have no problem being able to get their fair share of the pie.
