Book publisher sales revenue in the U.S. 2012-2022, by category
In 2022, books in the adult category remained the most lucrative in terms of revenue, generating over 5.76 billion U.S. dollars that year. Meanwhile, due to a drop in print sales, revenue from children's books fell slightly between 2021 and 2022, having previously seen consistent growth for a number of years.
