Why Books?

The global book market continues to be a major pillar of the content industry, thriving alongside rapid advancements in digital environments. With various formats—print, e-books, and audiobooks—coexisting, readers are now empowered to choose reading experiences that best suit their preferences and circumstances. Book markets across regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia each reflect unique characteristics yet continue to demonstrate steady growth.
While precise figures are challenging to pinpoint, over 2 million new titles are now estimated to be published annually, with more than 3 billion books sold globally each year. This trend toward high-variety, low-volume book production enriches cultural diversity; however, without an adequate system to connect key stakeholders—books, readers, authors, and publishers—the ecosystem’s sustainable growth could face significant challenges.
The data generated within this extensive book ecosystem holds vast potential. By aggregating global book data and integrating it with AI to deliver valuable insights and services, readers can more easily find books suited to their tastes and needs, authors can engage directly with their fanbase, and publishers and related businesses can more effectively reach their target audiences. Platforms built on book data and AI bring convenience and new value to all participants in the ecosystem, fueling sustainable growth and dynamism in the book market.
TREZBOOK aims to focus primarily on the print book market, which represents over 78% of the global book industry. As we grow, we plan to incorporate digital content such as e-books and audiobooks. Our ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive social reading community along with a Vertical Book AI service that encompasses all forms of book-based content.
