Key Highlights
- The newspaper market is valued as the sum total of all revenues gained from the selling of newspapers including those gained through circulation, subscription (including online subscription), and advertising revenue.
- The UK newspapers market had total revenues of $4.6bn in 2016, representing a compound annual rate of change (CARC) of -6.7% between 2012 and 2016.
- Market consumption volumes declined with a CARC of -6.2% between 2012 and 2016, to reach a total of 8.3 million copies in 2016.
- The fall of the UK market is attributed to the decline of print sales on which publishers are heavily reliant on, and at the same time the drop of advertising revenue. What is more, a price increase in the print editions was not enough to compensate the shrinking advertising revenues both from print and digital editions. Thus, the advertising revenue is crucial for this market.
