Publishing Industry Book Pricing Strategies in Korea 2023.07.03 Average list price of books sold in 2022 was 17,869 Korean won In Korea, books are usually sold at a fixed price. It’s because the “fixed book price policy” is implemented as the book price policy in accordance with the Publishing Industry Promotion Act. According to the Korean Publishers Association’s statistics, the average fixed price of books in Korea in 2022 was 17,869 won, 4.4% up from the previous year (17,116 won). This isn’t a sharp increase considering the international pulp prices and domestic labor costs that have been driving prices up in recent years because publishers sell books at a “competitive price” as they fiercely compete with multiple titles in the market.In the Korean publishing market, the hardback, paper...

How are Regional Publishers in Korea Thriving?

Publishing Industry How are Regional Publishers in Korea Thriving? Cooperation of local publishers seen through the Somewhere, Someone series 2023.03.13 I’m living in a village by the ocean in Goseong County, Gangwon-do Province. The first thing I do in the morning is take a walk on the shore in front of the village with my dog. Once I reach the shore, I take off the leash for him to move around freely, and check orders from bookstores on a number of applications. Sometimes, I sit in a corner, enter the logistics website, and start my morning work. Spending 3-4 minutes typing in the number of books and the name of the warehouse for the day is the most important task. Then, I put my dog back on the leash again, and head home.This was a dream 10 years back. Back then, the facsimile in one corner of the publishi...

Publishing Industry MCST Announces the 2022-2026 PublishingIndustry Promotion Plan Fostering K-Culture through Books and Building a Cultural Powerhouse through Publishing 2022.11.07 “Books” are the core content that has been with humanity for a long period of time. However, the domain of each type of content and the boundary between them have become unclear these days. Today, publishers are not just coming up with publishable content, but are expanding their business into e-books and audiobooks, not to mention other cultural fields such as the film, game, and music industries. As such, the publishing industry takes on different content-based roles, crossing the traditional frontier of “print books.”However, unlike the diversified channels for publishing content, readership is falling every year. People now prefer video services like TV, YouTube, and Netflix rather than books. The average annual percentage of Koreans reading books is 47.5...

Korea has been rapidly taking actions to return people’s daily lives to how they were before the pandemic. Such efforts can be seen through major terms commonly used in news outlets, such as “endemic” and “post-COVID.” Also, in early June, the Seoul International Book Fair was held at COEX on a large scale after a three-year absence, attracting approximately 100 thousand visitors.
