US hot sauce market sizeUS comic book and graphic novel market
American comic-book sales and American hot-sauce sales, both compounding. The reader of the graphic novel is, statistically, eating something spicy at the same time. The dataset is forgiving about kitchen-and-couch overlap.
US comic and graphic-novel revenue grew from about 600 million dollars in 2005 to over 2 billion by 2022 as Marvel and DC graphic-novel runs, manga's mainstream breakthrough, and bookstore-channel expansion lifted the category. US hot sauce market revenue grew from about 1 to over 3 billion dollars in the same window as Sriracha, Cholula, and the new Asian-condiment wave expanded the category. Two completely unrelated category-growth stories sharing a window because the same eighteen years rewarded both a print-and-digital reading category and a particular condiment trend.
Two products designed for the same evening compounded together. The book and the bottle, in the same room.
