The declining demand for print in major European markets like the UK, Germany and France means newspaper publishers face shrinking revenue from both sales and printed advertisements. Publishers are adjusting by developing their digital presence, introducing subscription paywalls, subscriber-only newsletters, digital advertising initiatives and strategic media partnerships to support revenue as traditional print readership continues to slump. In the five years through 2025, Book, Newspaper & Magazine Publishing revenue is projected to drop at a compound annual rate of 4.6%, to reach €102.5 billion, including an estimated drop of 3.9% in 2025 when the average industry profit margin is expected to reach 9%. Despite difficult conditions, the book publishing segment has had a strong growth in revenue since 2020, fuelled by consumers picking up more books during lockdown periods. However, the cost of print publishing has risen significantly in recent years, driven higher by global inflation with the overall producer price index for paper and paper products in the Euro area climbed 1.1% since January 2025. Publishers also face higher transport and wage costs, which are squeezing profit and limiting revenue growth. In 2024, Western European transport expenses rose by approximately 3%, according to the European Commission. Rising fuel prices and persistent driver shortages continue to push logistics costs up across the publishing sector. Looking to the future, publishers must adapt to the new digital world. The gradual slump in print media means publishers must develop their digital presence to supplement their print publications. Still, publishing companies face growing pressure as more people turn to self-publishing platforms and social-focused news channels, bypassing traditional publishers. This will prompt companies to expand into multimedia like podcasts, video journalism, and interactive graphics to diversify content formats and reach younger demographics. These trends increasingly erode established income sources like print sales and conventional advertising. As a result, the industry will likely see revenue remain strained for several years ahead. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.1% over the five years through 2030, reaching €103 billion.

The industry has seen a sharp decline in traditional printed book sales across Europe, as buyers increasingly prefer e-books and audiobooks due to their convenience and accessibility. Cost savings, environmental concerns, and the practical features of digital formats drive this shift. Buyer power is increasing as customers now have more options and can compare prices or easily switch formats. As e-books and audiobooks gain ground, traditional bookstores are losing influence, putting their long-term revenue at risk if printed book demand continues to shrink. This trend challenges established retailers to adapt or face declining sales. In contrast, online retailers like Amazon have experienced a surge in sales due to their attractive price deals and affordable delivery options. Physical bookstores are adopting modern strategies, like click-and-collect services and home delivery of books, to keep up with their competitors. Meanwhile, traditional print book sales are declining across Europe, as e-books and audiobooks gain momentum. Industry revenue is forecast to slump at a compound annual rate of 0.8% to €38.6 billion over the five years through 2025, including a projected drop of 4.5% in 2025, when the average industry profit margin is expected to reach 8%.

To rival the convenience offered by digital competitors, large-scale bookstore chains are enhancing customer experiences within their stores.

Industry revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 1.4% to €36 billion over the five years through 2030. In the face of ongoing digitalisation in media and books, European book and stationery retailers grapple with declining revenue. Yet, there are some silver linings for book and stationery retailers. Children’s book sales may rise as screen time and technology use become a bigger concern for parents. Many now limit children’s use of smartphones and televisions due to concerns about the long-term effects on their development. Some health bodies now advise against screens entirely for younger children. This broader anxiety about device exposure could drive stronger demand for physical children’s books as a safer alternative, suggesting a shift in future market trends. Also, these businesses are combating declining revenue by diversifying product ranges to include gifts and non-book items like stationery to attract customers. However, many European countries remain far from returning to pre-pandemic performance levels, as newspaper and magazine circulations across Europe continue to decline. This ongoing downturn sets up a challenging five-year outlook for these industries.
