  Hello everyone and welcome back to another blog; where we will be engaging in the monetary data of how magazines have grown over the years. The magazine publishing industry has been facing loads of challenges since the digital medium has taken over. 

  The digital content's demand has affected print magazine spending as the pricing and accessibility has increased growth for digital format. The magazine publishing industry includes two major segments, such as advertising and circulation. The global magazines publishing industry is anticipated to reach US $106.9 billion by 2018. Despite the technological advancements, making it difficult to maintain their readers, they continue to perform relatively well. In every year between 2016 and 2020, the total number of magazine readers in the U.S. remained above 220 million; previously having hovered around the 210 and 215 mark. The average monthly audience of popular magazines exceeded 50 million for each of the top five publications appearing in a 2020 ranking; the magazine People enjoyed an average monthly reach of over 90 million that year. Print magazines remain popular; it is determined that U.S. consumers prefer print material over digital; a surprising but positive result for publishers who are reluctant to make the move online. The number of print consumer magazines in the U.S. rose steadily from 2017 onwards. Although print is a favorite for U.S. consumers, there is a growing number of readers who are switching to the mobile way.

  Current data suggests that print magazines have a stable future, however depending on consumers will determine the stable future. Let's take for example this blog, readers will find this digital option to attain information more reliable than carrying around a print copy. Magazines produce regulated, trustworthy, and high quality reputations. This will have to be enforced if readers purchase physical copies or sign up to print subscriptions. Thank you for engaging in today's blog. I hope you attained valuable information on the latest trends of magazine research.
