The global fiction books market is expected to decline from $12.22 billion in 2020 to $12.21 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.1%. The declining demand for fictional books is due to shifting consumer preference towards e-books with increasing internet penetration during the coronavirus lockdowns. The market is expected to reach $10.83 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of -3%.

The change in the reading habits of people is expected to hamper the growth of fiction books markets.The preferences towards other entertainment means like videos, streaming platforms, gaming, and television have caused a decline in the people reading books and an increase in time spent on other means.

For instance, in the Digital media trends survey, 14th edition, nearly 80% of people in the USA have subscribed to at least one paid online streaming video service.The statistics indicate a wider acceptance of online streaming services among individuals.

Thus, online streaming channels created a low interest in reading books which further acts as a hindrance to fictional books’ market growth.

Amberjack Publishing is a USA-based media company engaged in publishing and editing fictional and non-fictional books.

The sale of books through online media is anticipated to drive the fiction books market during the forecast period.The increasing number of active internet users is providing companies with an opportunity to cater to a wide number of customers.

According to the Book Publishing Statistics published in October 2018, the publishers sold more through the online medium that is $8.03 billion than through physical stores that is $6.90 billion in 2018. The preference of individuals to buy books online is majorly due to the broad choice, cost savings due offers and discounts, and convenience of buying anytime and from any location. Therefore, online shopping of books is boosting the fiction book market.

Increasing focus on technology and new product development is a key trend in the fictional books market.The publishers and writers are continuously focusing on introducing innovations to increase the sales, outreach, and to ease their writing and publishing activities.

The software aims to provide authors with refining their manuscripts and identify opportunities for their work in the market. Moreover, publishing houses and authors are releasing podcasts which are series of spoken word, audio episodes of a particular book which is expected to create an effective means of leisure and entertainment for the readers further building sales.
