In the global book publishing industry, the E-book market around the world is registering the fastest growth on account of the rising usage of portable devices that allow users to access content on the move.

In 2013, the global book publishing market was led by the U.S., Germany, China, Japan, the U.K., and France. Collectively, they accounted for around 60% of the overall revenue the market produced that year, according to the International Publishers Association. However, the global printed books industry is witnessing a decline in its market share on account of the digitization of books and easy availability of it over the internet. The growth of the global e-book market is getting significant support from this trend. Furthermore, the adoption rate of e-books in the U.S. and the U.K. is much faster compared to that of the printed books.

Demand from Global Media and Entertainment Industry to Drive Global E-book Market

The rise in the penetration level of smartphones and tablets, the continuous increase in internet usage owing to spread of high-speed broadband connectivity in developing regions, growing interest of readers for e-book content across the globe, easy availability of online translation of E-books into several languages, and the availability of various e-books and e-book reader apps for free are the major factors behind the extensive growth of the global e-book market.

However, the dearth of awareness pertaining to the content of e-books and the need of specific software to run E-book apps are expected to create hindrances in the coming years.
