The Pokémon Company has released its official figures report for 2025, revealing that 10.2 billion Pokémon cards were produced between March 2024 and March 2025.

This marks a 14% decrease compared to the 11.9 billion cards printed in 2023—a drop of approximately 1.7 billion cards. Despite the decline, the 2024 total still exceeds the 9.7 billion cards produced in 2022, indicating strong ongoing demand for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

Prior to 2019, Pokémon card production averaged between 1.5 to 2 billion cards per year. However, recent years have seen a significant surge in global distribution.
