They are among the latest in a series of high-profile acquisitions the company has embarked on in the last several years. Last year the company completed its £140m takeover of TI Media, with brands including Country Life, Wallpaper* and Cycling Weekly, while this spring Future announced it had acquired women’s brand Marie Claire US. When it comes to leading publishers by number of titles, Immediate Media Company is out ahead with 51 consumer print titles in 2020.īritish publisher Future however, stands out for having almost doubled its number of publications from 17 to 30 between 20, driven by an ambiguous growth strategy. Immediate’s leading titles include Radio Times (480,000, English Heritage Members Magazine (450,000) and BBC Gardeners' World (220,000).Īs reported by Press Gazette earlier this year, Immediate’s portfolio grew its overall ABC print circulation by 9% year-on-year in the second half of 2020 with subscriptions driving the majority of sales.

The top publishers are responsible for a number of household names.īauer’s biggest titles in 2020 for example included TV Choice (average monthly circulation of 1.04 million), Take a Break (380,000) and Yours (180,000).įuture’s biggest sellers in the consumer market include What's on TV (690,000), Woman & Home (250,000) and Woman's Weekly (210,000). The single-biggest Hubert Burda-owned company reporting to ABC, Immediate, controlled an estimated 11% of consumer magazine circulation last year. The Burda family, owner of holding company Hubert Burda, also account for a significant share of circulations. A similar proportion of circulation was attributable to Reed Business Information, the biggest reporting publisher in 2000.Īlthough some magazine publishers have been bought out by investors such as Dennis Publishing, which in 2018 was acquired by British private equity firm Exponent, many of the biggest names in magazine publishing are family-owned.įor example, the Bauer and Hearst families together account for an estimated 33% of circulation. Mark Allen accounted for 12% of B2B magazine circulation in 2020 based on the combined total of companies in the group among which are MA Business Ltd and MA Agriculture Ltd. The single-biggest company according to reports to ABC is Mark Allen, which publishes a number of B2B titles in 17 sectors including aviation and healthcare. Looking at the business-to-business (B2B) magazine publishing sector, ownership is more diverse. In contrast, research by Press Gazette last year found that when it comes to newspapers the top three companies controlled an estimated 80% of national print circulation - an increase in ownership concentration since 2015. In 2010, the three leading publishers, TI Media, Bauer and the BBC accounted for 42% of all copies circulated - only slightly more than the 41% accounted for by the three leading publishers in 2000. In some cases, magazine circulation figures now also include digital editions as well as print copies. (To reach a figure for each publisher we took the average circulation per issue per title and multiplied this by number of copies published each year for each title). This is based on an analysis of the total annual number of magazine copies circulated by each publisher, according to data reported to the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC). When it comes to consumer magazines, the leading companies – Bauer Media, Immediate Media Company and Future Plc – controlled an estimated 37% of circulation in 2020. Despite a number of high profile takeovers and buyouts, the ownership of the UK magazine industry remains more diverse than newspapers, according to new analysis of the biggest magazine publishers in the UK.
