eMagazines are defined as digital replicas of printed consumer, trade or business magazines. eMagazines can be accessed through various devices such as specific eReaders (e.g. Kindle) as well as tablets, smartphones or computers. eMagazines are typically purchased as a subscription, but can also be downloaded as single editions. The following are not covered in the definition of eMagazines: digital paid content on websites of magazines and academic journals (non-replica), and print or bundled magazine subscriptions with digital editions as a free extra.

Paid downloads of digital replicas of printed consumer, trade or business magazines
Single paid downloads or subscriptions
Included subscription-based services like Readly.com

Bundled subscriptions where digital editions come as a free extra

Despite the steady growth in the eMagazines market, the product will likely stay a niche product. Attempts to transfer subscription-based business models to the eMagazines market have not yet reached the anticipated impact on sales. By analogy to Video Streaming services, eMagazines subscription services often struggle with a limited portfolio of available content. Currently, the business’s hope of a breakthrough lies – again – with Apple and its new service called Apple News+.

To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, and reported performance indicators of key market players. In particular, we consider average prices and annual purchase frequencies.
