NACE v2.0 Code: J58.11

About book publishing

NACE code 58.11 covers the publishing of books, brochures, leaflets, and similar publications, including publishing of dictionaries and encyclopedias. This industry plays a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge, culture, and information across various sectors of the economy. Book publishing is a key component of the broader media and entertainment industry, contributing significantly to economic growth and cultural development.

Production process

The book publishing process typically involves several key steps. Authors first write and submit their manuscripts, which are then edited, proofread, and prepared for publication. The content is then formatted, designed, and laid out for printing. Printing can be done using various methods, such as offset printing, digital printing, or print-on-demand. Finally, the published books are distributed to retailers, libraries, and other outlets for sale to the end consumers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the book publishing industry include raw materials such as paper, ink, and binding materials. Publishers also rely on specialized equipment like printing presses, binding machines, and computer software for layout and design. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including authors, editors, designers, and production staff.

Production outputs

The primary output of the book publishing industry is the published books, which are then consumed by readers, libraries, educational institutions, and other 58.14 Audiovisual and music publishing or 58.19 Other publishing activities sectors. The published content can cover a wide range of topics, from fiction and non-fiction to academic and professional literature.
