The “Global 50 Publishing Ranking 2025” presents with its 2nd, updated and expanded, edition a detailed overview of 50 of the world’s leading book publishing ventures. It includes consumer book, educational, professional and scientific (STM) publishing ventures, ranked by their respective revenue from publishing and wholesale distribution activities. 

The research report also includes an overview of exemplary ‘non-traditional’ publishing organisations and platforms, with a focus notably on self-publishing, online authoring ecosystems, animated and serialized storytelling, and hybrid audio-book channels.

Current trends and developments in a highly dynamic market environment in full transformation are discussed in an in-depth analysis.

The report has been authored by Rüdiger Wischenbart (“Ruediger Wischenbart Content and Consulting”) and is co-published together with leading global publishing trade information magazines, notably Bookdao (China), Digital Publishing Report (Germany), LivresHebdo (France), and Publishers Weekly (USA).
