<\/a>Publishing Statistics \u2013 eBook Sales\u2019 Rise Benefits Print Book Sales<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\u00a0<\/h4>\n<\/span>According to a\u00a0report published by the American Association of Publishers<\/a>\u00a0, the exponential rise in ebook\u00a0sales in the last few years did not harm print book sales, on the contrary. The print book sales are also on the increase, albeit considerably less than the ebook sales.<\/h4>\nThe report covers the difference in ebook sales and print book sales figures between 2010 and 2011 deriving from US publishers exports (US publishers exports are 90% of their sales revenues and target 750 million English readers worldwide). The total US trade publishers\u2019 export sales for 2011 was $357.4 million, a 7.2% increase over 2010 $333.3 million. This reflects more a rise in price per unit than a rise in overall sales volume, as the total unit sales rose only by 0.9%, from 71.3 million units to 71.9 million units.<\/div>\nNow, getting to the relative increase in ebook\u00a0sales compared to print book sales, the differences become gigantic. At $21.5 million for 2011, a 332.6% increase compared to 2010, ebook sales per unit figures reached 3.4 million, or a 303.3% increase compared to the previous year. Print book sales increase during the same times reached a mere 2.3% with $335.9 million.<\/div>\nThese increase in ebook\u00a0sales and print book sales vary greatly from region to region, as shown by a quick look at the relative regional figures of the most rapidly-growing regions for US publishers<\/div>\nv\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Continental Europe \u2014 14.7% overall increase in revenue; 218.8% in ebook sales, 9.5% in print book sales<\/div>\nv\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0UK\u2014 22.9% overall year-to-year increase in revenue; 1316.8% in ebook sales, 10.4% in print book sales<\/div>\nv\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Latin America\u2014 15.4% increase in revenue overall; 201.6% in ebook sales and 9.7% in print book sales<\/div>\nv\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Africa\u2014 21.9% total increase in revenue; that translated to 636.8% gain in ebook sales and 17.1% in print book sales<\/div>\nUKseems\u00a0to have taken the lead in adopting ebooks, though this might be partly due to linguistic preferences, as UKresidents\u00a0are more likely to purchase\u00a0books in English than their European counterparts who tend to prefer books in their own native language, and these statistics reflect sales by US publishers.
