根据 Stratistics MRC 的数据,全球电子书市场预计在 2025 年达到 201.1 亿美元,到 2032 年将达到 312.6 亿美元,预测期内的复合年增长率为 6.5%。

电子书 (eBook) 是纸本书的电子版本,可在电子阅读器、平板电脑、智慧型手机和电脑等电子设备上阅读。它以便携、易读的格式提供与实体书相同的内容。电子书通常包含可调整字体、超连结和多媒体元素等功能,以提升阅读体验。它们广泛用于教育、娱乐和专业参考。

英国国家文学信託基金 2019 年的一项调查发现,45% 的 8 至 18 岁年轻人更喜欢使用电子设备阅读,而只有 30% 的人更喜欢阅读纸本书。

线上学习和数位教育日益普及

由于智慧型手机、平板电脑和电子阅读器上阅读书籍的便利性,传统印刷媒体已显着转向数位媒体。教育机构和自学平台已将电子书作为教学的主要资源。此外,数位学习工具和互动内容的进步也提升了使用者的阅读体验。自助出版和数位图书馆的趋势正在进一步扩大市场。随着数位教育的持续发展,对电子书的需求也可能继续增长。

数位盗版和版权问题

数位檔案易于复製和分发,这意味着未经授权的电子书版本会在网路上迅速传播,而且通常未经作者或出版商许可。这种非法共用给创作者和出版商带来了巨大的收入损失,直接影响了他们投资新内容和创新的能力。数位版权管理 (DRM) 技术旨在防止未授权存取和复製,但却经常被规避,而且网路的全球性也使得版权法难以执行。持续打击此类盗版需要持续不断地进行监控、采取法律行动和开展消费者教育,以保护智慧财产权并确保创造性作品获得公平的报酬。

扩大网路和行动连线

数位基础设施的不断完善使用户能够随时随地便捷地存取电子书。价格实惠的智慧型手机和平板电脑的普及也推动了电子书的消费量,尤其是在发展中地区。政府推动线上教育和数位素养的措施也进一步促进了市场扩张。订阅模式和云端图书馆正成为电子书交付的热门选择。随着全球连结性的改善,电子书将覆盖更广泛的受众,从而扩大其市场潜力。

免费线上内容竞争激烈

读者可以存取大量免费报导、部落格、论坛和用户生成内容,这些内容通常无需付费即可提供即时解答和娱乐。这些免费内容,加上广告支援平台和开放倡议的兴起,为付费电子书设定了高门槛。出版商和作者必须透过卓越的品质、独特的观点、严谨的研究和更佳的用户体验来使其产品脱颖而出。资讯应该是免费的观念使得说服消费者为电子书付费变得困难,从而加剧了电子书行业的竞争,并对定价模式施加了压力。

COVID-19的影响

新冠疫情对电子书市场产生了重大影响,加速了数位阅读的转变。由于实体书店关闭,越来越多的消费者转向电子书进行娱乐和教育。线上学习平台的需求激增,进一步推动了电子书的消费。即使在疫情之后,由于便利性和可近性,数位阅读的趋势依然持续。出版商持续扩展其数位图书产品,为用户提供更广泛的电子书选择。

平板电脑市场预计将成为预测期内最大的市场

平板电脑市场预计将在预测期内占据最大市场占有率,这得益于其易用性和更好的阅读体验。平板电脑提供各种先进功能,例如更大的萤幕、更高的解析度以及可调节的照明,从而实现最佳的阅读舒适度。电子阅读器也因其护眼显示器和更长的电池续航力而日益普及。学生和专业人士对平板电脑的日益普及正在推动市场成长。

预计预测期内消费者部门的复合年增长率最高。

由于个人读者电子书购买量的增加,预计个人消费群体将在预测期内实现最高增长。多样化的图书类型和个人化的阅读体验正在吸引越来越多的个人消费者。订阅和配套服务服务为狂热读者提供了经济高效的解决方案。在一台装置上下载和储存多本书的便利性正在提升用户参与度。

占比最大的地区:

由于数位基础设施的不断扩张和行动装置普及率的不断提高,预计亚太地区将在预测期内占据最大的市场占有率。在政府推动数位教育和线上学习的倡议的支持下,中国和印度等国家在电子书的普及方面处于领先地位。快速的都市化和广泛的网路连接进一步推动了电子书的消费。学生和专业人士对数位内容的接受度不断提高,推动了市场持续的需求。

复合年增长率最高的地区:

预计北美地区在预测期内将呈现最高的复合年增长率。这得益于美国和加拿大的技术进步和强劲的电子书销售。主要电子书平台的出现以及人们对数位阅读日益增长的偏好是主要的成长要素。北美消费者正在采用基于订阅的模式和互动内容,从而提升了市场的吸引力。对数位学习和数位出版的投资不断增加,进一步推动了市场扩张。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ebook Market is accounted for $20.11 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $31.26 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. An eBook, or electronic book, is a digital version of a printed book that can be read on electronic devices such as eReaders, tablets, smartphones, and computers. It offers the same content as a physical book but in a portable, accessible format. EBooks often include features like adjustable fonts, hyperlinks, and multimedia elements, enhancing the reading experience. They are widely used for education, entertainment, and professional reference purposes.

According to a 2019 survey conducted by the National Literary Trust in the United Kingdom, 45% of youngsters aged 8 to 18 preferred to read on a digital device, while just 30% preferred print books.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing popularity of online learning and digital education

The convenience of accessing books on smartphones, tablets, and e-readers has led to a significant shift from traditional print media to digital formats. Educational institutions and self-learning platforms are adopting ebooks as a primary resource for teaching and learning. Additionally, advancements in e-learning tools and interactive content are enhancing the reading experience for users. The rising trend of self-publishing and digital libraries is further expanding the market. As digital education continues to grow, the demand for ebooks will continue to increase.

Restraint:

Digital piracy and copyright issues

The ease of copying and distributing digital files means that unauthorized versions of ebooks can spread rapidly across the internet, often without the author or publisher's permission. This illegal sharing leads to substantial revenue losses for creators and publishers, directly impacting their ability to invest in new content and innovation. While Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies aim to prevent unauthorized access and copying, they are often circumvented, and the global nature of the internet makes enforcement of copyright laws challenging. This ongoing struggle with piracy necessitates continuous efforts in monitoring, legal action, and consumer education to protect intellectual property and ensure fair compensation for creative work.

Opportunity:

Expanding internet and mobile connectivity

Enhanced digital infrastructure is allowing users to access ebooks conveniently from anywhere at any time. The availability of affordable smartphones and tablets is driving higher ebook consumption, especially in developing regions. Government initiatives promoting online education and digital literacy are further supporting market expansion. Subscription-based models and cloud libraries are emerging as popular options for ebook distribution. As connectivity improves worldwide, ebooks will reach a broader audience and expand their market potential.

Threat:

High competition from free online content

Readers have access to a vast array of free articles, blogs, forums, and user-generated content, often providing immediate answers or entertainment without a paywall. This free content, coupled with the rise of ad-supported platforms and open-access initiatives, sets a high bar for paid ebooks. Publishers and authors must differentiate their offerings through superior quality, unique perspectives, in-depth research, or enhanced user experiences. The perception that information should be free makes it challenging to convince consumers to pay for digital books, intensifying competition and pressuring pricing models within the ebook industry.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly influenced the Ebook Market, accelerating the shift toward digital reading. With physical bookstores closing, consumers increasingly turned to ebooks for entertainment and education. Online learning platforms saw a surge in demand, further driving ebook consumption. Post-pandemic, the trend toward digital reading has persisted due to convenience and accessibility. Publishers have continued to expand their digital offerings, ensuring users have access to a wide range of ebooks.

The tablets segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The tablets segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to their ease of use and enhanced reading experience. Tablets provide larger screens, better resolution, and advanced features like adjustable lighting for optimal reading comfort. E-readers are also gaining traction due to their eye-friendly displays and long battery life. The growing adoption of tablets among students and professionals is driving market growth.

The individual consumers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the individual consumers segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to increasing ebook purchases by personal readers. The availability of diverse genres and personalized reading experiences is attracting more individual consumers. Subscription services and bundled offerings provide cost-effective solutions for avid readers. The convenience of downloading and storing multiple books on a single device enhances user engagement.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to its expanding digital infrastructure and increasing mobile penetration. Countries like China and India are leading ebook adoption, supported by government initiatives promoting digital education and online learning. Rapid urbanization and widespread internet connectivity are further boosting ebook consumption. The growing acceptance of digital content among students and professionals is driving sustained market demand.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to technological advancements and strong ebook sales in the U.S. and Canada. The presence of major ebook platforms and increasing preference for digital reading are key growth factors. Consumers in North America are adopting subscription-based models and interactive content, enhancing the market appeal. Rising investments in e-learning and digital publishing are further supporting market expansion.
