Books Market Growth & Trends

The global books market size is expected treach USD 192.12 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period, according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing consumer expenditure on books, fueled by rising incomes and interest, as well as ongoing format improvements that have improved the entire reading experience, are among the primary reasons driving the book business forward. Independent publishers have been on a rise in the recent past. According tLinchpin SEO, there were approximately 69,709 independent publishers in the book industry as of 2020. In response tthe apparent monopoly in traditional publishing, excluded individuals have turned tindependent publishers not associated with large publishing houses.

While traditional publishing companies seek tcorner the market, independent publishers provide an opportunity for diversity and inclusion among authors and niches. These publishers are smaller and, in some cases, completely digital and that is the key behind their numbers increasing year on year. Along with this, most large publishers are privately owned. So, it is difficult tassess the number of books being sold globally and the revenue that is generated from it.

The growing trend of the reverse supply chain, alsknown as re-commerce, offers new opportunities for selling used books. Re-commerce exemplifies the growing trend toward transforming consumption through reuse. Thus, re-commerce retailers such as Momox, reBuy, and Quoka.de are the biggest drivers of the industry. While printed books are irreversibly on a path of decline, it remains an extremely large market for print. Business model changes have shifted control over the value chain tauthors and retailers, making demand unpredictable. Digital production inkjet print technology opens the window for book manufacturers trespond tcompressed patterns of demand through labor and inventory cost savings.

Offset and digital production printing will coexist for the foreseeable future, but few book manufacturers will be able tjustify reinvestment in offset printing technology; most will not have a choice but tinvest in digital production printing systems if they are tsurvive and grow. A changing retail distribution landscape will further force the adoption of more automated and flexible book printing and manufacturing. As booksellers adapt tonline business models in a fraught global economic moment, 2021 could determine whether independent bookstores survive. Owners say that it is not just their solvency at stake but alsthe role of books across global communities.

In terms of the supply chain, the production process in the entire industry has slowed due tthe coronavirus outbreak. For instance, Amazon has been experiencing changes in its ability tship products worldwide from the U.S. This has affected Kindle Direct Publishing’s ability tfulfill orders for proof and author copies.
