Magazines ABC Q4 2021: Signs of life for magazines?
![Magazines ABC Q4 2021: Signs of life for magazines?](https://biz-file.com/c/2202/645442.jpg)
The figures may have remained static or at a minimum increase, but they are there, and consistently so, while the categories appear to have sorted themselves out after the bloodletting of the past year.
"After substantial declines in 2020, there appears to be some stabilisation in the consumer magazine category with distribution numbers from 1,361,613 in Q3 2021 to 1,312,636 in Q4 2021 - a difference of 48,977," says the ABC.
However, the Clicks Clubcard magazine has seized print in favour of digital, and this has drastically impacted the Custom Magazine distribution category's figures negatively.
But, says the ABC, this is balanced by some good news. "Business-to-business publications is the hero of this quarter with growth of 7% quarter-on-quarter from 808,407 to 867,338, while the Free Magazine category is also up with 1% from Q3 2021, a growth of 502 in distribution."
Consumer magazines
Unlike Q3 where consumer magazines reflected very little increases as many magazines changed their reporting status, Q4 had pockets of good news in nearly every sector in this category.
Often, as in Q3, where there were no increases, there was a reporting change. The best sector was Sport & Hobby sector with three magazines out of five showing an increase over the previous quarter.
Publications that had an increase over the previous quarter in excess of 10% include The Big Issue, Farmer’s Weekly, Marktoe, Visi, Bike SA, Magnum and Cape Etc.
While there were some good gains in the prior year, most magazines showed a reporting change status.

The Customs magazines category was lacklustre, as in Q3, with little movement up or down on the previous quarter. Yet, of the 15 sectors in the category, eight had magazines that showed an increase in the previous quarter.
Jet Club is the only magazine with a double-figure increase. There were no other standouts with other increases very incremental, ranging from 0.1% to 2.4%.
There were some good showings on the prior year for Premier, Game & Hunt/Wild & Jag, Taste, and In Flight Magazine, with a good sprinkling of reporting change status.
