Information on publishing industry in India
While
no one would argue that the Indian publishing industry is growing at an
impressive pace, unfortunately there are few statistics that give an
exact
picture of the Indian market which are also estimates at best. India is
one of the few (if at all any) major markets in the world which is
still seeing growth in both print and digital publishing and the value
of the Indian publishing industry in 2012 is estimated
at USD 2 Billion[1] with
an overall growth rate
of around 15% as per conservative estimates. A nationwide survey
conducted by the National Book Trust of India in 2010 revealed that
one-fourth of the youth population, a staggering figure of 83 million,
identify themselves as book readers. India also has
about has about 19,000 publishers although out of those only around
12,400 have ISBN’s. It is further estimated that about 90,000 titles are
published in India every year which includes books across all genres[2].
On the flip side, the per capita number of book titles published in India is around 8 per 100,000[3] people
which are much lower compared with countries like the United States of America, Germany and France.
Print-runs
for fiction rarely exceed 2,000 copies in the first instance. For
well-established writers, first print runs can go up to
5,000 and a bestseller is often a book that has sold only as many as
10,000 copies. There is also severe pricing pressure on books because of
which the margins for publishers in India show a bleak picture, with
only 2.5 to times multipliers, as against UK
or US where the publisher can afford to multiply costs by 10-12 times.
Prices of books, instead of going up, have gone down further with the
popular Rs. 100 (2 USD) - novel trend[4].
Publishers: 19.000 (12.400 using ISBN)
Titles published: 90.000 per year
Title published per capita: 8 per 100.000
