The import of printed books, newspapers, and pictures to Chile experienced a considerable decline from 2013 to 2016, with the value dropping from 182.75 million USD to 126.94 million USD. While there was a modest recovery in 2017 and 2018, the overall trend remained relatively stagnant thereafter. From 2023 onwards, a slight year-on-year growth can be observed, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 0.48% by 2028, suggesting minimal growth.
Future trends to watch include the impact of digital media consumption on physical print imports, shifts in global trade policies, and economic changes in Chile that could influence consumer demand for printed materials.
