According to www.uands.com, consumer spending (for movies, TV shows, DVD, VOD, PPV, VHS etc but not for internet subscriptions) for 2006 will be $83.1 billion (cited in the July 6, 2006 issue of DVD News).

According to the VSDA July 2005 state of the industry report, porn accounted for 2% of DVD sales. If this number holds true for porn's percentage of global spending on entertainment, porn worldwide would be a $1.662 billion industry.

VSDA estimates U.S. DVD/video sales and rentals at $24.3 billion for 2005. The 2% figure would place U.S. porn DVD/VHS sales and rentals at $486 million for 2005.

The most commonly cited number for porn's worldwide size is $57 billion (including internet subscriptions), which is what AVN President Paul Fishbein told 60 Minutes (Nov 21, 2003 broadcast).

As porn receives no money from box office sales, 2% of the remaining revenues would amount to about $1.25 billion.
