  • Malawi Publishing Market Brief 2008 HTML | PDF

     A key element of government policy has been the introduction of free primary education, and a consequent increase in the share of GDP and public expenditure devoted to education. Most of this increase has been devoted to primary education, but there has also been improved access to secondary and tertiary education. There are no primary textbook opportunities for publishers, and the secondary market although open to international publishers is neglible, as the official textbook list has not been revised for several years, however there is some growth in market through donor textbook provision.

  • Malaysia Publishing Market Profile 2007 HTML | PDF

    There are some 145 publishers in Malaysia, with an annual output of around 5,000 titles. About 90 per cent of these publishers concentrate on educational (mostly school-level) publishing, as this is the most lucrative market and the Ministry of Education is the industry's largest single customer. Books are published for the most part in Bahasa Melayu (Malay), with publishing in English mostly limited to English-language textbooks and supplementary books for schools. There is limited publishing of academic and trade books.  There is a small but growing market for general reading material in Bahasa Melayu, mainly romantic fiction.

    There are two markets in Mexico - the public sector and the private sector - with publishing by government departments accounting for 60% of total units sold, and approximately 500 commercial publishers representing just 35%.

The largest numbers of book imports are in the categories of language teaching, Spanish adult and children's literature, and schools books for basic education. However translations from languages other than Spanish are growing, with translations from the English language representing 70-80 percent.
