The Canadian Book Consumer Study 2023

Note: Pages 12-19 of the report focus on “book borrowers.”

From BookNet Canada:

In 2023, we conducted our surveys during the months of April, June, September, and December among 4,270 adult, English-speaking Canadians — 2,045 were book buyers.

In this study you’ll find:

• data on book buying, including insights into spending habits, reasons to buy at specific places, and changes in spending over time;

• data on borrowing, including motivations behind borrowing vs. buying, discoverability, and browsing activity;

• an analysis of the change in the buying and borrowing of print books, ebooks, and audiobooks through recent years;

• insights into the impact of rising book prices on Canadian book buyers and borrowers; and

• even more!
