Book Dynamics: Understanding a Changing Market
Book Dynamics: Understanding a Changing Market A White Paper by: Cary Sherburne Book Dynamics: Understanding a Changing Market Introduction Like many print segments in a world rapidly going digital, the book market has undergone tremendous upheaval over the past few years. Book publishers struggle to deal with declining sales of printed books across most categories while they continue to refine their e-book strategies. Book printers are looking for ways to more quickly and profitably produce shorter runs of books—either on demand to fill a specific order, or in a print-on-demand model with runs of 50 to 1,000+ units to reduce inventory costs. This white paper presents a look at the current state of the book market along with a discussion of how technology can be applied to meet the challenges facing both book publishers and book printers. It features tips and techniques for profitably producing printed books in runs as short as one that will be helpful to both printers and publishers as they plan the future of their businesses. A Changing Book Market According to recent research conducted by INTERQUEST1, the total volume of books printed in North America is projected to decline 4% to 5% annually over the next several years. INTERQUEST cites the sluggish economic climate and the growing impact of e-books as the primary causals. The research further states, “Conventionally produced books will decline at a rate of 8% per year, while digitally printed volumes [will] grow 21.7% annually. Digital book production will be fueled by continuing efforts by publishers to reduce supply chain costs, a new generation of faster and more productive inkjet presses, B-size sheet-fed digital presses, self-publishing, and distributed manufacturing. -
