INTRODUCTION
industries in India Print Media is more than a century old and a well-established
industry. The print industry mainly comprises of newspapers and magazine publishing. India
has been one of the fastest growing world economies since the past many years. The
revenue sources for a magazine are subscription, single copy sales and advertisement.
India has 49,000 publications, but annual revenues total just $1.1 billion. Most of
them lack technology, marketing, and capital to grow which has resulted in a handful of
publications. In fiscal year 2020, the revenue generated from India's newspaper industry
amounted to over 295 billion Indian rupees, whereas the revenue generated from magazine
industry was about 10 billion rupees. Overall, the print industry in the country declined by
over eight percent in fiscal year 2020 compared to the previous fiscal year. Some of the major
challenges faced by newspaper and magazine industry are as follows:
Reduced Revenue: People usually prefer for free content and they look for digital
magazines which are comparatively cheaper due to which it prevents any earning
going to the print newspaper/magazine industry.
Online competition: Now a days trending news are most likely to be first available on
Twitter or Instagram and people tend to be active on social networking sites. It causes
a big problem for the magazine/ newspaper industry to keep up with the latest or the
trending news.
Quality in Print Content: People have a demand for high quality print content and hence
it becomes a big burden for this industry to cope up to the
expectations of people and deliver high quality printed paper in affordable price.

INTRODUCTION
Newspaper and magazine industries in India
Print Media is more than a century old and a well-established industry. The print
industry mainly comprises of newspapers and magazine publishing. India has been one of the
fastest growing world economies since the past many years. The revenue sources for
a
magazine are subscription, single copy sales and advertisement. India has 49,000
publications, but annual revenues total just $1.1 billion. Most of them lack
technology,
marketing, and capital to grow which has resulted in a handful of publications. In fiscal year
2020, the revenue generated from India's newspaper industry amounted to over 295 billion
Indian rupees, whereas the revenue generated from magazine industry was about 10 billion
rupees. Overall, the print industry in the country declined by over eight percent in fiscal year
2020 compared to the previous fiscal year.
Some of the major challenges faced by newspaper and magazine industry are as follows:
Reduced Revenue: People usually prefer for free content and they look for
digital
magazines which are comparatively cheaper due to which it prevents any earning
going to the print newspaper/magazine industry.
Online competition: Now a days trending news are most likely to be first available on

E- READING
Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-reader; however, specialized e-
reader devices may optimize portability, readability, and battery life for this purpose. Their main
advantage over printed books is portability. This is because an e-reader is capable of holding
thousands of books while weighing less than one book, and the convenience provided due to
add-on features
ADVANTAGES OF E-BOOKS
Lowering costs:
One of the most obvious benefits of eBooks is being able to do away with printing, packing,
distribution, and shipping expenses. As discussed earlier, 69% of publishers have priced their
eBooks lower than the print version to pass on the benefits of lowering put costs to
consumers. For example, on Amazon India, the average price of eBooks is INR 187 while
that of a physical book is INR 334. To leverage this cost advantage, countries across the
world like France and Thailand are experimenting with the use of
e-readers and tablets in education. This one-time cost is lesser than buying print books every
year which compound during the entire education life-cycle of a student. Several state
governments in India have also explored the possibility of providing e-readers/tablets to
students. The Indian Government’s own e-Basta project is also geared towards this. Given the
high annual expenditure on school books per student in India, it is important that course
material be digitized. This also becomes pertinent as the price elasticity of demand for books
globally has been estimated to be between -1.0 and -2.531, which means that a 10% decrease
in prices can increase the demand of books by 15% at the minimum and an increase of up to
30% in some cases. Online platforms such as Amazon report that the percentage fall in sales
of books due to GST at various price points is estimated to be a minimum of 1-5% fall for
inexpensive eBooks (up to INR 50), and a maximum of 90% fall in sales at higher price
points. The price elasticity of demand for eBooks is likely to be similar, especially in contexts
where eBooks are perfect substitutes for print books. Therefore, eliminating GST of 18%
could lead to a significant reduction in prices of eBooks, thereby increasing demand and
facilitating better educational outcomes. Improved
Access: All printed books are not available to students, especially those who reside in remote
areas where there are demand and supply constraints. Distributors have little incentive to
service areas where there is low demand for advanced books. The start of every academic
year witnesses reports of delays in distribution of NCERT textbooks in schools across the
country. This forces many Indian parents to rely on private publishers who often charge 3
times as much as NCERT for the same books. These problems of inequitable reach and
distribution exist in most developing countries. A 2008 World Bank study found that only
one out
14of nineteen African countries had adequate school textbook provisions. Hence many
African textbook publishers such as Via Afrika are increasingly adopting the digital route and
have been met with impressive demand, from having sold only 1,000 eBooks in 2012, to
selling an impressive 65,000 in 2015 alone. Likewise, since 2015 Indonesia has, through a
partnership between their Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Information and
Communications Technology, and local telco giant Telkom Indonesia, begun to support their
rural students who have limited access to print books to shift to digital education via its e-
Sabak project. The project seeks to convert much of the educational content into eBooks, and
disseminates them via tablets Space & Portability: E-Books are custom made to suit the
increasing pace of today’s life, given the mobility and portability of e-readers and
smartphones that carry e-reader apps. The negligible demand on physical storage space could
prove to be very useful for educational institutions and public libraries where providing e-
readers will allow readers to access a plethora of books, without having to bear the costs of
buying and storing the same. The Indian Government’s e-Basta project, for instance, has
created a framework to make school books accessible in digital form as eBooks to be read
and used on tablets and laptops. The objectives of the project clearly highlight the need to
reduce the burden of print books on students, in addition to reducing costs of education in the
long term. This initiative was launched as a response to the increasing reportage of health
issues triggered by heavy school bags. One survey found that the average weight of a school
bag is 17% of the average body weight of a student, outside the recommended range of 10-
15% of body weight. An other survey conducted by ASSOCHAM showed that more than
two-thirds of students below 13 years of age run the risk of backaches and hunchbacks due to
heavy school bags. Virtual
libraries:
Given the net-savviness of library users, libraries are adopting digital content to satisfy user
demands. Public libraries across India, especially in schools, colleges, and universities, are
exploring virtual libraries where students and members can log in through their e-readers and
tablets. Through these libraries, students can have greater access to books from around the
world, even the more
15expensive ones. This had already become the norm for public libraries in developed
countries. For instance, 94% of U.S. public libraries now offer eBooks, a significant increase
in comparison to the 2010 figure, when only 72% of the public libraries in the U.S. had
eBooks available.
Inclusivity:
Recognizing that different readers have different needs and preferences, eBooks have the
potential to meet a wide range of accessibility needs, such as Braille and large font sizes (to
those who are visually impaired), text-to-speech (to those having learning disabilities such as
dyslexia) and lightweight devices (to those unable to hold a printed book due to physical
disabilities). E- Books also hold the potential to reach people in remote places which are not
serviced by printed books due to cost implications.

Background:
Introduction
Market Size
According to the 2015 Nielsen report on the India’s Book Market,
India is home to both over 9,037 publishers who directly employ over
40,000 people, as well as to over 21,800 organized and unorganized
book retailers. India's overall book market, worth INR 261 billion
(USD 4 billion) in 2015 is understood to be the 6th largest in the
world, the 3rd largest with respect to books in English, and is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.3% to touch INR 739 billion (USD
11.311 billion) by 202. However due to a lack of regular market
analysis, estimates with respect to its worth and its exact growth
potential vary. Nevertheless, there is uniform consensus on the
sector’s upward growth, with the same being attributed to a variety of
factors, including India’s economic boom and the country’s
increasing literacy rate predicted to reach 90% by 2020. Apart from
English books that lead the pack with a 55% market share, India has
organized or semiorganized publishing in 16 languages. Within the
regional language market share, Hindi dominates at 35%, while the
other regional languages together make up the remaining market. The
Indian publishing sector is also mostly fuelled by its sale of textbooks
and educational content, with the trade books only amounting to a
miniscule 6%. Of the trade books sold in India however, 25% were
children’s books, 45% were nonfiction, with fiction constituting the
remaining 30%
In terms of book types, physical books and eBooks hold sway while
audio books are a small percentage. E-Books in particular, have
emerged as a game changer in the Indian book industry, estimated to
have a market segment volume of USD 125m in 2018. Potential
revenue growth in eBooks at CAGR of 14.3 % is expected to result in
a market volume of USD 214m by 202226. The Frankfurter Much
mess Report on Perspectives on Publishing in India (2014-15)
highlighted that the electronic consumer publishing sector had been
growing at 17%, which is almost thrice the growth of the overall book
industry at 6%

Product.
Having a product is key and is the root of all
things marketing. A product could be anything
that a company offers consumers to satisfy a need.

Psychological Factors
In daily life, consumers are being affected by
many issues that are unique to their thought
process. Psychological factors can include
perception of a need or situation, the person's
ability to learn or understand information, and an
individual's attitude. Each person will respond to a
marketing message based on their perceptions and
attitudes. Therefore, marketers must take these
psychological factors into account when creating
campaigns, ensuring that their campaign will
appeal to their target audience. Personal Factors
Personal factors are characteristics that are specific
to a person and may not relate to other people
within the same group. These characteristics may
include how a person makes decisions, their
unique habits and interests, and opinions. When
considering personal factors, decisions are also
influenced by age, gender, background, culture,
and other personal issues.
For example, an older person will likely exhibit
different consumer behaviours than a younger
person, meaning they will choose products
differently and spend their money on items that
may not interest a younger generation.
Social Factors The third factor that has a
significant impact on consumer behaviour is social
characteristics. Social influencers are quite diverse
and can include a person's family, social
interaction, work or school communities, or any
group of people a person affiliates with. It can also
include a person's social class, which involves
32income, living conditions, and education level.
The social factors are very diverse and can be
difficult to analysis when developing marketing
plans. So, while preparing or designing an
advertisement we have to jot down the behaviours
of the customer and plan our campaign
accordingly to attract more potential customers
from the target market.
