Analyst Opinion

The eBooks market in Denmark has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing availability of digital reading devices.

Customer preferences: Denmark has a highly literate population with a strong reading culture. However, traditional print books have faced competition from eBooks, as more and more readers are embracing the convenience and portability of digital reading. With the rise of smartphones, tablets, and e-readers, customers are increasingly opting for eBooks over physical books. This shift in customer preferences has contributed to the growth of the eBooks market in Denmark.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the eBooks market in Denmark is the increasing popularity of subscription-based eBook services. These services offer customers unlimited access to a wide range of eBooks for a fixed monthly fee. This model appeals to customers who want to explore different genres and authors without the commitment of purchasing individual books. Subscription services also provide a cost-effective option for avid readers who consume a large number of books each month. This trend has been further fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people turned to eBooks for entertainment and escapism during lockdowns. Another trend in the market is the growing demand for eBooks in the educational sector. Schools and universities in Denmark are increasingly adopting digital learning materials, including eBooks, to enhance the learning experience for students. eBooks offer interactive features, such as highlighting, note-taking, and search functionality, which can aid in comprehension and revision. Additionally, eBooks are more environmentally friendly than traditional textbooks, aligning with Denmark's commitment to sustainability.

Local special circumstances: Denmark has a strong digital infrastructure, with widespread internet access and high smartphone penetration. This has facilitated the adoption of eBooks, as readers can easily download and access digital content on their devices. Furthermore, Danish publishers have been quick to embrace digital publishing and make their titles available in eBook format. This has created a diverse and extensive catalog of eBooks for Danish readers to choose from.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Denmark has a stable economy with a high standard of living. This has allowed consumers to invest in digital reading devices, such as e-readers and tablets, which are necessary for accessing eBooks. Additionally, the Danish government has implemented policies to promote digital literacy and support the growth of the digital economy. These factors have created a favorable environment for the development of the eBooks market in Denmark. In conclusion, the eBooks market in Denmark is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, the popularity of subscription-based services, the demand for digital learning materials, the country's strong digital infrastructure, and favorable macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, it is expected that eBooks will become an increasingly popular choice for Danish readers.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the Books market, which covers paid publications in printed form and in the form of digital replicas (eBooks). Revenues from the consumer (of general interest), academic (for educational purposes), and professional (on specialized topics) markets are included here. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective market. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, and reported performance indicators of key market players. In particular, we consider average prices and annual purchase frequencies.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.
