E-BOOK MARKET - GROWTH, TRENDS, COVID-19 IMPACT, AND FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)
During the anticipated period, the E-book Market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.92%. The primary drivers of the global e-book industry are technological advancement and the complexity of reading devices that offer an experience comparable to reading a real book. The growing popularity of smartphones and the availability of multilingual e-books are predicted to increase demand for e-books worldwide.
Market expansion is impeded by publishers being accused of IP infringement by content providers. For instance, the Internet Archive was sued by four major book publishers in June 2020 for alleged copyright violations in connection with its open library initiative. A number of publishers have sued the Internet Archive, including Hachette, Penguin Random House, Wiley, and HarperCollins.
During the epidemic, there was a rise in reader interest overall. During the time of the worldwide lockdown, people began reading electronic books for enjoyment. Due to users' preference for convenient and immediate delivery, e-book sales soared as hard copy book sales first declined as a result of shuttered bookstores and shipping delays from online merchants.
The key driver of growth for the worldwide e-book industry is predicted to be the increase in portable reading devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Due to the expensive nature, fragility, and necessity for proper care of hard copies, consumers choose e-books over physical books.
It is anticipated that the digitalization of books and their availability online would create a cutting-edge environment that will provide readers with a real-time experience. Furthermore, it is anticipated that consumers will be able to experiment with e-reading thanks to the conversion of comic books into digital materials by well-known publishers like Marvel and DC. The American Library Association (ALA) declared that, in order to cut down on waste, every book in their collection would be made available in a digital format by the end of 2018.
