Summary
Books, News and Stationery products market in Australia has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years. The local book industry in Australia has been protected by the parallel import restrictions (PIR) which provides protection for the publication of books and prevents book sellers from sourcing world titles at cheaper prices. Similarly to many other countries, book stores across Australia are closing down due to decreasing sales through physical stores. Sales from online stores are witnessing significant growth due to a wider product choice.
Key Findings
Books, news and stationery segment is projected to witness steady growth over the next few years and account for 1.4% of the total retail market by 2019.
