What this is
Pokémon cards produced worldwide in the year April 2023 to March 2024: 11.9bn, the highest yearly figure so far.
How it’s built
- The difference between two cumulative totals the company published: 64.8bn by March 2024 less 52.9bn by March 2023.
- Both from The Pokémon Company's 'Pokémon in Figures' page, as compiled by the fan news site PokeBeach.
What we assumed
- Both totals are precise enough to subtract.Each is stated as 'over', so the yearly figure could be off by up to about 0.1bn either way.
Sanity check
11.9bn a year is about 33m cards a day; the following years fell back to about 10bn.
