DUBLIN, September 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Consumer Book Publishing Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global consumer book publishing market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the circulation and advertising of digital consumer magazine and digital trade magazine. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

According to the report, high adoption of ebooks is a primary growth driver of this market. The publishing landscape has experienced an immense change in the reading behavior of population, owing to the change in technology. EBooks, electronic editing, and emergence of online subscription business model have transformed the publisher's outlook toward content. The advances in technology have helped the publishers save a lot of time and money, along with the flexibility to publish any type of information at the earliest with lower turnaround time and minimal costs.

Digital content as future of book publishing is an important trend gaining traction in the market. The future of book publishing lies in digital content and print on demand (POD). As a result of growing online population, publishers will be forced to print fewer copies of new titles just from the point of view of their business model. The majority of traditional publishers do not encourage POD because of the higher cost per book and quality issues. However, the reverse is being experienced now, with the cost per book going down and the quality going up.

In 2015, the consumer print book segment experienced a revenue decline of 2.28%, from $49.95 billion in 2014 to $48.81 billion in 2015. Also, as consumer digital book segment was at its very early stage, it could not make up for the losses in the printed books segment. Handheld and lightweight electronic devices, such as Kindle and Reader, are capable of storing large number of books and displaying legible text even in low-light situations and pose threat to the traditional print publications.
