The key players in the global digital magazine publishing market are Bloomberg, Forbes, Hearst, Meredith, and Time. The market is highly competitive due to the presence of numerous vendors. Intense competition, consumer spending pattern, demographic trends, and frequent changes in consumer preferences present a significant risk to vendors. Vendors compete on the basis of digital content, app availability, product differentiation, portfolio, and pricing. This competition is expected to intensify during the forecast period with an increase in product extensions.
