Publishing Industry in India and China

China vs India - Book Publishing

India’s book publishing industry is now touching the Rs.80 billion-mark. Leisure coffee table reading, plush-reading galleries at book stores, increased participation of Indian publishers at international book fairs and e-books have given a big boost to sales. Exports now comprise a healthy Rs.4.6 billion compared to Rs.330 million, way back in 1991.

China has over 560 publishing houses, which publish around 100,000 titles every year. The development of periodicals has been amazing. In 1949, there were only 257 periodicals in China, with a total print run of 20 million copies, or less than 0.1 copies per capita. After the reforms and opening-up, in 1979, the number of periodicals rose to 1,470, with a total print run of 1.184 billion copies, or one copy per capita.
