Bahrain has proven to be a leader in the Gulf region when it comes to per capita book readership. According to a report published in Ceoworld magazine, Bahrain claimed the top spot in the region and 82nd place globally for its reading habits. On average, Bahrainis read 3.44 books per year, spending 77 hours annually on reading. This shows a strong dedication to literature and education within the country.

Following Bahrain, Oman secured the second spot in the Gulf and 89th place globally, with an average of 3.13 books read per person per year, totaling 69 hours of reading. Kuwait followed closely behind in third place in the Gulf and 90th globally, with an average of 3.08 books read annually, also spending 69 hours on reading. Qatar came in fourth in the Gulf and 93rd globally, with an average of 2.93 books read per year, and 67 hours dedicated to reading. The UAE and Saudi Arabia rounded out the rankings in the Gulf, with the UAE in 98th place globally (2.71 books, 60 hours) and Saudi Arabia in 99th place globally (2.69 books, 60 hours).

The Ceoworld report, based on a survey of book readers in 102 countries and over 6,500,000 interviews, showcased the reading habits of nations around the world. The top spots globally were claimed by the United States and India. Americans read an impressive average of 17 books annually, while Indians read 16 books per year. Both countries showed a preference for physical books over e-books or audiobooks, despite the increasing popularity of digital media in today’s world.

The report also highlighted the growth of the global book market, which was valued at $144.67 billion in 2023. It is projected to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% from 2024 to 2030. This growth indicates a continued interest in reading and literature worldwide, despite the rise of digital media. With countries like Bahrain leading the way in per capita book readership, it is clear that reading remains an important and valued activity for many individuals around the world.

Overall, the Ceoworld report sheds light on the reading habits of nations globally and showcases the dedication of countries like Bahrain to literature and education. With the global book market continuing to grow, it is clear that reading remains a popular and cherished activity for many people worldwide. Through initiatives that promote reading and literacy, countries can continue to encourage a love for books and knowledge among their populations. In a digital age where technology is prevalent, it is heartening to see that the tradition of reading physical books remains strong in many parts of the world. By celebrating and promoting reading, we can ensure that the joy of literature continues to be passed down through generations.
