The world of magazine publishing is enormous. So much so, that there quite literally is an opportunity for everyone, no matter what your interests. There are currently around 10,450 different magazine titles in the UK. The majority of which aren’t sold in most High Street newsagents. Around the world, there are estimated to be around 1.2 million different magazines published in over 200 languages …. although no one knows for sure!

This is also a business that is growing fast – fast – fast. Each year in the UK alone, around 360 new magazine titles are published. That’s approximately one for every day of the year! The demand for magazines is buoyant – and growing. Virtually every man, woman and child in the UK reads at least one magazine over the course of a month. Some surveys show that 95% of people read at least one magazine once a month, and there are almost 60 million people in the UK. Very few products have that kind of take up rate and, of course, most people read many more magazines than that.
