For the purposes of this report, the social science and humanities publishing market is divided into five publishing activities: books, journals, online content, A&I services and other activities (a category that includes audio, video and meetings directly tied to individual journals).
 

Simba Information’s report Global Social Science & Humanities Publishing 2021-2025 provides a comprehensive overview of the global social science and humanities (SSH) publishing markets, which encompass a variety of media formats such as books, journals, online content, abstracting & indexing services, and other activities.

Social science and humanities publishing includes a broad range of popular subject areas from anthropology and economics to history, philosophy, and literature, but this publishing segment continues to face ongoing market challenges — with falling sales and fewer published titles in 2020. However, a few bright spots in the market remain as we look ahead to 2025.

Here are a few key insights from the report:

  • Social science and humanities publishing sales fell an estimated 1.5% in 2020 after posting flat results in 2019.
  • COVID-19 led social science and humanities book publishers to drastically reduce their production over the course of 2020 compared to recent years.
  • The number of titles published in these fields fell 10.9% in 2019 and then plummeted by 51.8% in 2020.
  • Publishers are being more selective due to the continuing trend of declining sales, particularly in print.
  • Although SSH books and journals are expected to face declines, online content will grow 3.4% annually from 2021 to 2025.

As the economy emerges from COVID-19, social science and humanities publishers will face a complex market full of disruptive threats. Get the intelligence you need to compete and win in this industry with Simba Information’s essential new report.
