Most recently there were 28.4 million book buyers in Germany. This was, so far, the lowest number recorded during the observed time period. The number of book buyers in Germany peaked in 2012 at almost 37 million, decreasing annually afterwards. But even in 2007, at 33.6 million buyers, the number was higher than in 2019. These developments may be connected to rising e-book sales in Germany.
