The globalization of the book market in the digital age has not only altered the ways in which readers acquire books, but, perhaps to an even greater extent, the ways in which books are published and distributed. It is apparent, for example, that the number of books published using technology at the core, such as 3D printing for example, has increased and is transforming the ways in which sales of books are approached. The number and reach of publishing houses have also grown steadily over the years. Inclusively, physical and multimedia wholistic clues are continually necessary to fully inscribe a meaning out of the markets. In our contemporary climate then, it is paramount for businesses to comprehend the entire ecosystem around their products in conjunction with sensitive engagement in the digital infrastructure.

In terms of strategies, decreasing resource constraints will create new ways and strategies to exploit existing business models. At Verified Industry Insights, we intend to focus on developing new perceptions around the notion of book publishing, for example, by studying how the evolution of demand for e-books and traditional printed books are interlinked with the rise of seeking books on social media platforms, such as Instagram or TikTok, for B2B. Based on existing empirical data, there exist implicit tendencies between the structure of the publishing industry’s outer environment and the perceptions within the international framework of the book market.
