BookNet Canada Releases “The Canadian Book Consumer Study 2022”

From BookNet Canada:

In 2022, we conducted our surveys during the months of March, June, September, and December among 10,840 adult, English-speaking Canadians — 18% were book buyers.

In this study you’ll find:

• data on book buying, including insights into spending habits, reasons to buy at specific places, and changes in spending over time;

• data on borrowing, including motivations behind borrowing vs. buying, discoverability, and browsing activity;

• an analysis of the change in the buying and borrowing of print books, ebooks, and audiobooks through recent years; and

• information related to the interest of book buyers in books by Canadian contributors, Canadian regions, Indigenous peoples, and more.
