However, the market is highly concentrated. The 300 largest publishing firms hold almost 98 per cent of it. Approximately 600 - 700 firms publish more than ten books per annum, and more than 300 achieved a turnover of over 1 mln zlotys (€ 235,000), and approximately 160 achieved a turnover exceeding 2 mln zlotys (€ 470,000) in 2014. Most of the other registered publishers have only issued a very limited number of books and do not take part in the publishing market.
