The global book market is estimated to reach approximately USD 142.96 billion in 2025, growing to about USD 156 billion by 2030 at a modest 1.8% CAGR. Even amidst rapid digital transformation, print, e‑books, and audiobooks continue to thrive across various reader segments—from students to casual readers. College textbooks remain a consistent contributor in this diverse ecosystem.
For TextbooksVille, this means continued demand for both printed and digital titles. Offering a mix—affordable used paperbacks, new editions, and downloadable or rental e‑books—can help capture a broader audience. As audiobooks gain traction, bundling options could unlock additional value. Staying attuned to this slow but steady growth ensures TextbooksVille remains competitive in a market that blends tradition with innovation.
