book trade in Germany: A look at the numbers
In Germany, bookstores are a serious industry. According to the Statista, the net turnover of the book retail was around 3.7 billion euros in 2022. Germany is the largest market for the book retail trade in Europe. The fiction group is particularly popular, followed by children's and youth books and advice.
The Thalia Group, which merged with the Mayersche Bookstore in 2019, now operates around 500 branches in the roof region. In the 2023/24 financial year, the company was able to achieve record sales of around 1.9 billion euros. Despite the growth in e-commerce, where book sales are booming on the Internet, the number of inpatient book individual trading companies has been falling for years. The trend shows that sales of e-books, which recently rose to around 41 million pieces, accounts for a sales share of around six percent. The e-book market grows steadily.
In view of these developments, the opening of the Thalia Bookstore in Stralsund is a double chance-for the local community and for the Thalia Group to assert itself in a changing market. With a clear focus on regional products and cooperation, Stralsund could not only become more important for bookstores, but also for the cultural identity of the region.Visitors are therefore cordially invited to discover the new bookstore and immerse themselves in the world of books and Nordic delights. A good place to be inspired and at the same time support the local economy! Interested parties can find more information on the Thalia website at company.thalia.de.
With the opening in Stralsund, Thalia proves that books not only read, but also means life. If you don't believe that, you should get an idea and pay a visit!
