Book trends on Allegro

Last year, more than 23 million books were sold on Allegro, with the top buyer buying as many as 11,613 books. Data show that customers usually decided to buy school books because the platform offers all school books at the best prices. The following two genres were children’s books and literature. Moreover, while women purchased books more often than men, their choices were nearly identical and fairly practical... The top spots are held by the already mentioned children’s books, school books and literature. Outside the top three, women mostly buy calendars, gadgets and accessories while men buy science and popular science books. It is also worth noting that, as far as literature is concerned, women usually choose literary fiction, as well as popular fiction and erotica while men select literary fiction, as well as fantasy and horror books. The most popular authors in the Books category were Anita Głowińska, Marta Galewska-Kustra and Remigiusz Mróz.

The pandemic has changed our approach to literature and shopping habits. Considering the economic uncertainty and a relatively low level of readership, last year’s data for the Book and Comics category on both Allegro and Allegro Lokalnie are definitely encouraging. As the largest e-commerce platform in Poland, we want to offer buyers the widest choice possible, including the culture segment, at the best prices with the fastest delivery. We’re also happy to have continued our support for culture last year, including as the Strategic Partner of the international event that is the Conrad Festival.
