RANK RANK OR DIVISION PARENT COMPANY COUNTRY REVENUE REVENUE
TOP PUBLISHERS WORLDWIDE BY REVENUE, 2016
The 2016 sales figures for these companies exclude revenue from divisions that have moved away from book publishing.
Note: 2016 figures are based on sales generated in calendar year 2016, or, for companies that report based on fiscal years, in fiscal 2016. Companies must have
sales of at least $175 million to be included. Data is from publicly available sources or from individual companies and include sales of books, journals, professional
information, and digital products. Pannini and Disney are excluded from the ranking because they don’t report separate data for their publishing divisions. The
listing was compiled by international publishing consultant Ruediger Wischenbart under the aegis of Livres Hebdo.
