World Reading Habits
2020
2020
has been a strange year… for obvious reasons.
Most
of us spent more time at home. For some, this meant tuning into Netflix from
the sofa, or taking the opportunity to learn new skills from online education
platforms such as MasterClass or Coursera.
However,
for others this was an opportunity to dive into new books and read more.
How did coronavirus change our reading habits? Which countries read the most this year? And what books were we reading?
Some of the highlights of our research include:
➤ India
reads more than any other country, followed by Thailand and China
➤ Printed
books continue to drive more revenue than eBooks or audiobooks. However,
physical books sales did dip because of coronavirus (not surprisingly).
➤ Romance
is our genre of choice, with one-third of all mass market fiction books being
romance novels.
➤ 35%
of the world read more due to coronavirus.
