Adds 2 million new books, and announces “best ever” deals and quickest shipping.
Though online book retailing is in very nascent stage in India and there are very few players in the business, a survey, commissioned by online bookstore CoralHub.com predicts a promising future for the industry. According to the survey, the online book market in India is expected to grow by 30-35% during next 5 years, and 25% in later years.
The survey estimates the total size of the Indian book market is about Rs. 3750 crore. The online book industry is presently worth over Rs. 59 crore and is expected to witness a rapid growth due to wide scale Internet penetration in tier II and tier III level cities.
