The global books market size was estimated at USD 150.99 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2030. Rising consumer spending on books, driven by increasing incomes and growing interest in reading, along with innovations in format that enhance the reading experience, are key factors fueling market growth. The market is largely dominated by academic publishers, while non-academic or trade publishing holds a relatively smaller share. Academic publishers have a close, symbiotic relationship with the educational system, primarily serving schools, colleges, universities, and research institutions that focus on technical, medical, and professional education.
Technological innovations in the industry, with the advent of audio- and video-based e-books, are attracting consumers across regions. Easy accessibility of paperback copies for differently abled and non-English speaking groups are some of the key factors driving market growth.
Books have undergone significant transformations throughout history, from papyrus scrolls to the rise of e-books with the advent of digital media and new technologies. The market has evolved into various formats, such as e-books and audiobooks, broadening opportunities for both publishers and readers. As reading increasingly shifts to digital platforms, publishers must embrace the digital medium and invest in creating and promoting content across text, audio, and video formats. For instance, HarperCollins has been forming strategic partnerships with companies like Scribd, a digital library, since 2013. Additionally, publishers can offer interactive online experiences for readers, similar to J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore platform.
A key challenge in the market is the rising cost of print and e-book titles, which has led consumers to seek alternatives rather than purchasing new books. According to a Voice of the Reader survey, higher prices are prompting buyers to delay purchases. As a result, consumers are increasingly turning to lower-priced alternatives, such as used books or free and discounted e-books via newsletters. Textbook prices have also seen significant increases, further adding to this trend.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted global demand for books, particularly in the household sector. As many people worked from home, there was more time for leisure activities and self-improvement. Books became a popular choice for tens of thousands of consumers seeking both personal development and productive ways to spend their time during the uncertainty and chaos of the pandemic.
Comic book sales are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2030. The comic book market has been driven by key factors such as rising income and interest and continuing developments in the format that have enhanced the overall reading experience. Moreover, the increasing popularity of comic books in developed and developing nations. In addition, a majority of people in the U.S. read these books every month. According to a report published by Comicsbeat, in 2021, the popularity of comic books increased multifold, with sales up by almost 70% as compared to combined sales of 2018 and 2019.
Educational book sales accounted for a share of 18.29% in 2024, reflecting sustained demand from schools, universities, and professional training programs. The growth is largely driven by the increasing adoption of digital textbooks and e-learning platforms, with companies like Pearson and McGraw-Hill leading the charge. These publishers have embraced digital transformation by offering subscription-based models and interactive learning tools that enhance student engagement. For instance, Pearson’s shift to a digital-first approach, which includes providing e-textbooks and online learning materials, has proven effective in meeting the growing demand for flexible, remote education solutions.
Mystery book sales are projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2030, driven by the genre’s growing appeal across digital formats like audiobooks and e-books. Companies such as Penguin Random House and Hachette have capitalized on the increasing popularity of immersive, serialized mystery content, particularly through platforms like Audible and Kindle. For example, Penguin Random House’s successful promotion of mystery bestsellers, such as Gillian Flynn’s "Gone Girl" and Lee Child’s "Jack Reacher" series, highlights how strategic marketing and strong digital presence have helped engage both new and existing audiences. Mystery's popularity is also boosted by the rise of subscription models like Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited, offering consumers access to a vast library of mystery novels at affordable prices.
Fictional book sales accounted for a share of 59.99% in 2024. Key factors driving this dominance include the rising popularity of genres like fantasy, romance, and science fiction, along with the expansion of digital platforms such as Kindle and Audible, which make fiction more accessible to readers globally. Publishers like HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster have leveraged multi-channel strategies, offering a mix of print, digital, and audiobook formats to capture a diverse readership. For example, HarperCollins’ success with blockbuster titles such as Sarah J. Maas’ "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series has been amplified by its strong online presence and audiobook adaptations.
Non-fictional book sales are projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2030, driven by rising demand for self-help, biographies, and educational content. The growing interest in personal development and health-related topics has been a key driver for non-fiction sales, with publishers like Penguin Random House and Hachette focusing heavily on this segment. For instance, the global success of Michelle Obama’s memoir "Becoming" and self-help titles published by Mark Manson highlights the strong consumer demand for inspirational and instructive content. Additionally, partnerships with influential authors and media personalities are becoming a strategic focus for publishers to tap into niche markets and expand their non-fiction catalog.
Hard copy sales accounted for 84.12% revenue share in 2024 on account of consumers demanding to reduce screen time; this includes young and millennial readers as well as parents who want to limit the amount of time their children spend in front of a screen.
Despite an onslaught of new technology, books have proved to be extremely resilient. The printed word has many compelling advantages over reading on a screen. It is easier on the eyes, easy to browse, and comes with a certain durability that the relatively impermanent and easily edited digital text does not have. While many other technologies were soon made obsolete and replaced by more recent advances, books have survived as a medium almost unchanged for centuries, despite abundant competition.
E-book sales are projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2030, fueled by the shift toward digital reading and the growing availability of e-books across various genres. Major players like Amazon (through Kindle), Apple Books, and Google Play Books are driving growth by offering extensive libraries, subscription services, and user-friendly platforms. The rise of self-publishing has also contributed to this expansion, allowing independent authors to reach a global audience at minimal cost. For instance, Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform has empowered thousands of authors to publish and distribute e-books directly, increasing the variety and accessibility of content.
Local book shop driven sales accounted for a share of over 48% in 2024. A local bookstore offers a home to both authors and readers and is a welcoming place to come together to feel comfortable and at ease. It is a place for like-minded individuals to gather and exchange ideas. Many such shops have in-house book clubs and themed reading groups and organize regular author events, talks, and other activities that inspire individuals to think new thoughts and generate new ideas.
Online sales are projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2030. An innovative idea that online vendors are using is that they are selling second-hand or used books to customers that are in readable condition and available at a low price. This has proven to be a highly successful venture among students or young bookworms. Kitabay, a website operating in India, sells second-hand books at a price of 14 USD; offering free home delivery above a specific amount, and consumers can choose from “Mystery Box” options offering a varied number of books on a chosen genre, such as Romance, Women’s Fiction, Young Adult, and Classics.
The books market in North America accounted for a share of over 33.0% of the global market revenue in 2024 on account of the presence of a large number of independent publishers and publishing companies in the region which is anticipated to boost the market. Additionally, the growing number of avid readers in North America is likely to benefit the books market.
Books market in the U.S. is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2030. The U.S. is one of the largest markets for book publishing, globally, and the growing population of readers and the trend of self-publishing are expected to influence market growth significantly over the coming years.
Books market in Europe accounted for a share of over 25% of the global market revenue in 2024, positioning the region as a major hub for both traditional and digital publishing. This significant market share is driven by a strong literary culture, widespread readership, and the presence of several large, influential publishing houses such as Bertelsmann (owner of Penguin Random House) and Hachette Livre. Countries like Germany, France, and the UK are key contributors to the region's dominance, with thriving book fairs (e.g., the Frankfurt Book Fair) and strong government support for cultural and educational initiatives.
The Asia Pacific books market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2025 to 2030. The market for books in Asia Pacific is currently in the growth phase. The region is dominated by local publishers, and the demand for international books is anticipated to increase. However, many diverse languages are prevalent in this region, and thus, the demand for books in regional languages is higher compared to English books.
The market is fragmented, with several well-established companies holding significant shares, while smaller players also contribute to the industry’s diversity. Major players like Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Pearson dominate the global market, benefiting from extensive product portfolios and strong international distribution networks. These companies have maintained their positions by investing in digital transformation, strategic acquisitions, and partnerships to expand their reach. For example, Penguin Random House’s acquisition of Simon & Schuster bolstered its market presence in North America.
The following are the leading companies in the books market. These companies collectively hold the largest market share and dictate industry trends.
In 2024, Penguin Random House launched new mystery and thriller books in e-book and hardcopy formats.
In November 2020, Pearson announced the creation of a new direct-to-consumer division as it looks to further strengthen its focus on building a direct relationship with learners around the world.
In November 2020, Scholastic Inc. announced a new multi-book publishing program with civil rights hero and national treasure, Ruby Bridges.
In November 2020, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino signed a two-book deal with Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Tarantino’s first work of fiction, ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, will be published in the Summer of 2021.

Research Methodology
Grand View Research employs a comprehensive and iterative research methodology focused on minimizing deviance to provide the most accurate estimates and forecasts possible. The company utilizes a combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches for segmenting and estimating quantitative aspects of the market. In Addition, a recurring theme prevalent across all our research reports is data triangulation which looks market from three different perspectives. Critical elements of the methodology employed for all our studies include:
Preliminary data mining
Raw market data is obtained and collated on a broad front. Data is continuously filtered to ensure that only validated and authenticated sources are considered. In addition, data is also mined from a host of reports in our repository, as well as a number of reputed paid databases. For a comprehensive understanding of the market, it is essential to understand the complete value chain, and to facilitate this; we collect data from raw material suppliers, distributors as well as buyers.
Technical issues and trends are obtained from surveys, technical symposia, and trade journals. Technical data is also gathered from an intellectual property perspective, focusing on white space and freedom of movement. Industry dynamics with respect to drivers, restraints, and pricing trends are also gathered. As a result, the material developed contains a wide range of original data that is then further cross-validated and authenticated with published sources.
Statistical model
Our market estimates and forecasts are derived through simulation models. A unique model is created customized for each study. Gathered information for market dynamics, technology landscape, application development, and pricing trends are fed into the model and analyzed simultaneously. These factors are studied on a comparative basis, and their impact over the forecast period is quantified with the help of correlation, regression, and time series analysis. Market forecasting is performed via a combination of economic tools, technological analysis, industry experience, and domain expertise.
Econometric models are generally used for short-term forecasting, while technological market models are used for long-term forecasting. These are based on an amalgamation of the technology landscape, regulatory frameworks, economic outlook, and business principles. A bottom-up approach to market estimation is preferred, with key regional markets analyzed as separate entities and integration of data to obtain global estimates. This is critical for a deep understanding of the industry as well as ensuring minimal errors. Some of the parameters considered for forecasting include:
• Market drivers and restraints, along with their current and expected impact
• Raw material scenario and supply v/s price trends
• Regulatory scenario and expected developments
• Current capacity and expected capacity additions up to 2030
We assign weights to these parameters and quantify their market impact using weighted average analysis, to derive an expected market growth rate.
Primary validation
This is the final step in estimating and forecasting for our reports. Exhaustive primary interviews are conducted, on face to face as well as over the phone to validate our findings and assumptions used to obtain them. Interviewees are approached from leading companies across the value chain including suppliers, technology providers, domain experts, and buyers to ensure a holistic and unbiased picture of the market. These interviews are conducted across the globe, with language barriers overcome with the aid of local staff and interpreters. Primary interviews not only help in data validation but also provide critical insights into the market, current business scenario, and future expectations and enhance the quality of our reports. All our estimates and forecast are verified through exhaustive primary research with Key Industry Participants (KIPs) which typically include:
• Market-leading companies
• Raw material suppliers
• Product distributors
• Buyers
The key objectives of primary research are as follows:
• To validate our data in terms of accuracy and acceptability
