A review of the available 12-month statistics on book publishing through the end of Mehr (September–October) 1402 (2023/24), and a comparison with the same period in 1401 (2022/23), shows that we are facing a decline in titles and a price increase of more than 57 percent.
According to available statistics, through the end of Mehr 1402 (2023/24) as many as 108 thousand and 692 book titles were published, of which 73 percent of all published books were original works and the equivalent of 26.64 percent were translations, but the reality is that overall, comparing the total figures with the same period of the previous year, a 4.39 percent decline in book publishing is shown.
The highest 12-month figures for original book publishing through the end of Mehr 1402 (2023/24) belong to educational-aid, children and young adult, and literature books, and the lowest figures belong to books in language, natural sciences and mathematics, and generalities.
