The United Kingdom leads European book exports in 2023, with Germany and Poland also contributing significantly. Notable growth in book exports was seen from Latvia, Slovenia, and Cyprus, while Ireland, Finland, and Macedonia faced declines. The overall trend suggests more dynamic growth in smaller markets, although established exporters maintain dominant shares.
Future trends to watch include the expanding digital format market and the rising demand in non-European countries. The exploration of new genres and the influence of cultural openness will likely continue shaping the European book export landscape. Adaptive strategies focusing on regional strengths and market diversification will be essential for sustained growth.
