Digital book market in Latin America - statistics & facts
Only three economies worldwide recorded an expansion in Spanish-language e-book sales in 2021 – all on the American continent. While the United States and Mexico recorded an increase of around four percent each, Chile's e-book sales revenue growth rate reached 15 percent that year, highlighting Latin America's rising importance in the electronic publishing segment. Sales of e-books in Spanish in the region stood at little more than 28 million euros in 2021. That was slightly below the record high of 29.5 million euros seen in the previous year, the first of the pandemic. Yet it consolidated the new heights for the subcontinent altogether, with Mexico alone reporting an e-book sales revenue bigger than Chile, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru combined.
