Market research and consultancy firm Interquest has conducted research on the European digital book printing market from 2015 to 2020
The study found that even though printed book volume is due to decline overall, digital book printing in Europe will experience roughly twelve percent growth each year over the next five years.
President of Interquest Gilles Biscos comments: “The book market in Europe is being shaped by similar dynamics occurring in North America, but nevertheless retains distinctive country-specific legislative and cultural differences. Pricing policies and distribution networks in particular help shape the European market.”
