Porn Industry: Major Players



The top adult entertainment companies include Vivid Entertainment (US), Playboy (US), Frenesi Films (Brazil) and Erostream (Netherlands). Some of the major porn producing nations are Spain, Japan, Russia and Germany. According to toptenreviews.com, the countries with the largest revenue from the porn industry (in 2006) include China ($27.40 billion), South Korea ($25.73 billion), Japan ($19.98 billion) and the US ($13.33 billion).

The porn industry is a major component of the world economy, generating large scale revenue and employment. According to toptenreviews.com, over $3,000 is spent every second across the world on pornography. However, it is difficult to estimate the accurate statistics for the entire industry as a large part of the industry operates underground.

The demand and supply levels in the porn industry are affected by various social and religious factors. Some Islamic countries have very stringent laws against the distribution of explicit content in any form. Porn is considered a taboo here. The adult entertainment industry is also affected by political and economic factors. The US porn industry, for example, was affected by the 2008-09 global recession, requiring a $5 billion bailout from the government for recovery. The major demand driver of the porn industry is the accessibility to the Internet. Major supply drivers include government regulation, development of technological filters, and the cost of creation and distribution of porn.
