Scientific and Technical Publication Market Report by Product (Books, Journals, E-Books, Online Services), End User (Students, Professionals), and Region 2025-2033
Market Report I 2025-01-10 I 129 Pages I IMARC Group
The global scientific and technical publication market size reached USD 12.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 13.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.41% during 2025-2033. The widespread adoption of scientific and technical publications across universities to gain in-depth knowledge regarding inventions, discoveries, novel technologies, and their applications in agriculture, botanical and environmental sciences, and aerospace represents some of the key factors driving the market.
Scientific and technical (S&T) publication is a range of science, engineering, and technology-based published articles, information, and documents in journals, online services, e-books, and thesis formats. It encompasses in-depth content regarding diverse areas, including physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, space sciences, clinical medicine, biomedical research, and engineering. These publications are composed by independent scholars and scientific researchers after analyzing original articles, case reports, narratives, systematic reviews, interviews, pictorial representations, and editorial commentaries. Scientific and technical publications help design research plans and projects based on unanswered questions, understand existing theories, and improve critical thinking abilities and knowledge of scientific facts. Consequently, these publications find extensive utilization across industries, such as education, aerospace and defense.
Scientific and Technical Publication Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of scientific and technical publications across educational institutions and universities represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. Additionally, the steadily expanding publishing sector is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. In line with this, there is an increasing amount of literature that is being published pertaining to scientific and technical knowledge, which is contributing to the market growth. The steadily rising popularity of digital publications as compared to print publications is also driving the market toward growth. This was further facilitated during the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic which propelled the digital dissemination of scientific knowledge significantly, thus contributing to the market growth. The market is also driven by the increasing initiatives to make scientific and technical publications open access (OA). Such endeavors ensure free and widespread dispersal of scientific and technical skills, expertise and crucial information in various forms, such as research papers, journal articles and conference proceedings. In line with this, an increasing number of e-journal publications and hosting of webinars on subjects of scientific importance are contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as the increasing penetration of high-speed internet, affordable costs of print publications, rising number of establishments and institutes focusing on scientific and technical research, the allocation of increased budgets to the science and technology sector by governments of various nations, and extensive research and development activities, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
