The book market in the United States has faced numerous challenges. The rising popularity of digital media and the situation of book retailers are among these challenges. Even so, books are still an important part of Americans' daily life. Print book sales statistics have improved, and book sales reach above 700 million every year. Print books remain popular, such that 65 percent of adults have read at least one print book in the past twelve months.
In parallel with the growth and sales of print books, audiobook revenue has also reached above 5/1 billion dollars, and the number of titles produced is increasing every year. In addition, sales of digital books are also very high. Available data show that revenue from digital books in the two years 2020 and 2021 stands at almost 1/1 billion dollars. But it is forecast that the top of the sales table will remain in the hands of print books.
