Goldstar / PPAI 114031, S10 / www.goldstarpens.com It’s not exactly like taking candy away from a baby—but it’s close. Adults have claimed coloring books as their own. According to Nielsen BookScan data, 12 million copies of coloring books were sold in the U.S. in 2015, up from just one million in 2014. Today, adult coloring books are still popular. According to Nielsen’s Books & Consumers data, Millennials overall are 29% more likely to buy an adult coloring book than all buyers. Coloring books are perfect for days at the beach, long plane rides or simply unwinding after a long day. All you need is some colored pencils or pens. In 2015, Americans spent $128.2 million, 47% more, on colored pencils than the previous year. By the end of 2025, coloring instruments are predicted to generate a revenue of $3.4 billion.
