Book publishing industry, 2020
In 2020, the book publishing industry was indirectly affected by measures put in place by governments to control the spread of COVID-19. The closure of non-essential businesses, including bookstores, for parts of 2020 limited sales of books for significant portions of the year. This resulted in a decrease in revenue. Even with an increase in total Internet sales of print books, as well as sales of e-books, the operating revenue of book publishers declined 4.4% from 2018 to 2020. Expenses decreased more rapidly than revenue, down 7.4% for the same period, resulting in the profit margin rising from 7.6% in 2018 to 10.5% in 2020. The largest expense item for the industry—salaries, wages, commissions and benefits—declined 7.7% from 2018 to 2020.
