Global Medical Publishing, 2024-2028

Description

Simba Information's Global Medical Publishing 2024-2028 report projects the market will grow from $11.2 billion in 2023 to $12.6 billion by 2028 at a 2.4% CAGR, driven by online content, AI innovation, and the continued dominance of medical journals. Online content, the fastest-growing segment, is expected to reach $3.6 billion, while journals will contribute $4.9 billion by 2028.

AI is reshaping the industry with tools like Wolters Kluwer's UpToDate and Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI, improving clinical decision-making, and Wiley's Papermill Detection Service, addressing research integrity challenges. Opportunities lie in tackling healthcare workforce shortages through innovative education solutions, such as Wolters Kluwer's Lippincott Ready for NCLEX and advanced simulations.

North America leads the market with a 47% share, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as a key growth region. This report provides essential insights into market trends, leading publisher strategies, and opportunities in this dynamic sector.
