Revenue for the Newspaper Publishing industry is expected to fall at an annualized 3.0% over the five years through 2024, to $8.8 billion. This includes an expected revenue decline of 2.6% in 2024. Rising internet use has reduced demand for newspapers, particularly in China's large cities. Additionally, rising newsprint paper costs have reduced industry profit margins.
The industry has low market share concentration compared with developed countries, although the number of establishments has increased over the past five years. Certain newspaper publishers dominate specific regions in China. For example, Beijing Daily Group accounts for about 60% of total newspaper circulation in Beijing.
Over the five years through 2029, industry revenue is forecast to decrease at an annualized 2.0%, to $7.9 billion. Competition from the internet and other media for advertisers and readers is forecast to intensify, curbing growth. The emerging and fast-developing new media forms will also narrow the development space of traditional newspaper publishing.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 3.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $8.8bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to decline over the next five years.
