Book Retailing in the United States 2010
Mintel, March 2010, Pages: 82
The recession has significantly impacted retail book sales. Sales of all books declined 5% between 2007 and 2009, to $23.9 billion. When professional and educational books are excluded, sales declined 4%, to $11 billion. As sales of trade hardback and paperback books dropped, e-book sales soared. Sales of e-books, after reaching $313 million in 2009 from almost nothing in 2004, are forecast to eclipse $1 billion by 2012.
Traditional book retailers must remain relevant and viable to consumers in a world where more and more people are reading books on e-readers, PCs and iPads. The alternative: go the way of music retailers like Tower Records or Sam Goody in the wake of the iPod and iTunes Store.
