From my memory over the last 10 years the industry gross revenue has always been $1.8-2 billion.

How has the volume of images licensed in the last 10 years changed relative to this rather stagnant yearly gross revenue number? How do we as the image makers and marketers grow this industry's revenue rather than continuing to dilute it?
