Iran and the worldBooks and publishing1401 (2022/23)

Statistics obtained from examining cinema box office revenue and the book market in the two years 2019 and 2021 show that, contrary to expectations, the value of the book market is much greater than the value of cinema box office markets.

Cinema box office revenue in these two years declined in the world and in Iran, whereas book sales in the global market saw a very slight decline and in the Iranian market had an upward trend.

The global cinema market in 2019 was about 42 billion dollars, and Iran's market in 1398 (2019/20) was about 299 billion tomans. The value of both of these markets collapsed over two years and fell to half.
