E-books Market size in Europe to grow by USD 958.24 million from 2021 to 2026; Growth driven by high prices of printed books - Technavio

NEW YORK, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The e-books market size in Europe is estimated to grow by USD 958.24 million from 2021 to 2026. However, the growth momentum will be decelerating at a CAGR of 6.25% according to Technavio. The growth of the market is driven by factors such as the high prices of printed books, the growing popularity of e-readers, and the proliferation of mobile devices and apps. Printed books are generally more expensive than e-books. This is because the cost involved in manufacturing and publishing the printed books are added to their retail prices. The high price of printed books has prompted many individuals to adopt digital versions of the same books that are affordable and convenient to use. All these factors are driving the growth of the e-books market in Europe. To understand more about the e-books market in Europe, request a sample report

They are promoting the use of physical books right from the children's early age to help develop book-reading habits among the children. In addition, the growing awareness of the advantages and benefits of printed books over e-books is further reducing the growth potential in the market.
