Circulation of daily newspapers has seen a significant growth of 2.77 per cent between January and June in 2025 when compared with the previous six-month period of July to December 2024, the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) figures show.
The ABC Thursday released the certified circulation figures for the January-June audit period. In a statement, the ABC mentioned that the average qualifying sales of daily newspapers stood at 29,744,148 copies between January and June this year, as compared to 28,941,876 copies in the previous period, which was July to December 2024.
It added that this marks an increase of 2.77 percent or 802,272 copies, reflecting a healthy upward trend for the print media industry.
“The latest figures emphasize that readers continue to trust newspapers for credible, verified, and in-depth information,” the ABC statement noted.
It added that the rise in circulation signals a strong performance for print, reinforcing its status as a powerful medium for both news consumption and advertising engagement.
ABC is a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation comprising publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies as members. It certifies the circulation figures of publications that are its members.
