E-books Market in Europe: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The considerably high prices of printed books is notably driving the e-books market growth in Europe, although factors such as the increasing threat from printed books may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the e-books industry in Europe. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key E-books Market Driver in Europe

The considerably high prices of printed books is one of the key drivers supporting the e-books market growth in Europe. Printed textbooks are considerably priced higher than e-books. The cost involved in manufacturing and publishing printed books is eventually added to the retail prices of textbooks. Prices of books for the higher education segment are also high. This has eventually prompted consumers to shift from high-priced books to digital versions of the same books, which are not only convenient to use but also affordable for readers with limited budgets. There is a significant cost associated with not only purchasing books but also maintaining them. However, this is not required for e-books. Such factors of printed books will drive the e-books market growth in Europe during the forecast period.

Key E-books Market Trend in Europe

Emerging formats for publishing e-books is one of the key e-books market trends in Europe that is contributing to the market growth. Emerging publishing formats, including the Mobi, electronic publication (EPUB), and KF8, have been becoming increasingly popular among readers owing to the convenient and user-friendly interfaces they provide. EPUB2 and EPUB3 are emerging formats among the digital educational publishers with advanced features, including pre-recorded audio narration, and web standards such as cascading style sheet (CSS 3) and Extensible hyperText markup language (XHTML 5) with other relevant formats compatible with audio, video, and scalable vector graphics (SVG). Such flexible features will propel the e-books market growth in Europe during the forecast period.

Key E-books Market Challenge in Europe

The increasing threat from printed books is one of the factors hindering the e-books market growth in Europe. Parents are increasingly worried about the screen time spent on mobile devices. They have been 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 way physical book reading cafes and libraries have modified over the years in the region, the use of printed books in the region has proliferated. These places are encouraging the creation of isolated and disconnected spaces to provide readers with a completely different experience altogether. This is not possible with mobile devices coming along with several other distractions. Therefore, the continuous awareness of the advantages and benefits of printed books over e-books is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

This e-books market in Europe analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
