Print book market size in Japan 2014-2023

Published by Statista Research Department, Feb 7, 2024
The sales value of printed books in Japan amounted to 619.4 billion Japanese yen in 2023. The market size decreased by more than 30 billion yen compared to the previous year. Together with printed magazines, printed books constitute the print publishing market. In 2021, the segment was able to grow for the first time in 15 years as a result of the increased demand from people who spent more time at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While there had been a similar situation in 2020, the temporary closure of book stores during that year had a negative effect on the sales figures.
