Publications and research

Our work is supported by a research programme which focuses on highlighting the contribution of the UK publishing industry.

We work with different organisations to deliver research reports on strategic areas of interest for the membership.

We also collate key industry statistics, including our Publishing Yearbook, and carry out an annual industry workforce survey.
