By Type, the Book publishing segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the publishing industry, traditional players are thriving by serving specialized niches where digital competition is minimal. Notable sectors include cookbooks, art books, and children's literature, where consumers value the tangible reading experience of printed books. Traditional publishing encompasses various segments, including print newspapers. In 2023, print newspapers remained a significant revenue generator for news publishers, contributing largely to the overall revenue of the traditional publishing market. However, the emergence of digital platforms has led to a substantial decrease in print newspaper revenue, a trend expected to persist throughout the forecast period.

By Platform, Traditional  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the educational publishing market, books remain a vital resource for institutions such as schools, colleges, and research centers. The global student population's expansion and increasing accessibility to education fuel the continuous demand for educational materials. Innovative publishers cater to this need by providing digital learning solutions and interactive educational content. The growing student demographic and literacy rates worldwide contribute to the surging demand for books, thereby boosting the book publishing industry's growth. This market has become increasingly globalized, with books being translated and distributed across various regions and languages.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

In the global publishing market, North America held the largest market share in 2023, driven primarily by the high penetration of tablet and e-reading devices among the population. The region's dominance is further reinforced by the robust growth of the eBooks sector, fueled by the increasing number of portable reading devices such as smartphones and tablets. In 2022, the US alone boasted over 300 million active smartphone users, underscoring the significant market potential for digital publishing in North America. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, propelling the growth of the publishing industry in the region.
