In 2023, France and Italy led the European book publishing sector in terms of turnover per employee, both nearing 285 thousand euros. Luxembourg, Belgium, Finland, and Norway followed, slightly lagging behind. On the other end, countries like Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia demonstrated significantly lower turnover figures, indicative of differences in market dynamics and operational efficiency across Europe.
The 2024 forecast suggests stability with minimal variations. While France and Italy maintain their lead, some Eastern European countries might show gradual improvements due to digital advancements and increased literacy initiatives.
Future trends to watch include the rise of digital publishing, which may affect turnover per employee, especially in markets that swiftly adopt new technologies. Expansion into emerging markets, increased investment in digital platforms, and evolving consumer preferences will drive changes in the publishing landscape. Monitoring these trends will be essential for predicting shifts in turnover per employee rankings.
