Anime merchandising is not only a revenue stream for animation studios but also an emotional connection point for fans who wish to express their affinity for beloved characters and franchises. These products are distributed through a variety of channels—retail outlets, e-commerce platforms, comic conventions, and pop culture events—serving both individual and commercial consumers.

With anime's global penetration bolstered by streaming services, localization, and an expanding fan base, the merchandising aspect has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry and a crucial component of the broader anime economy.
