The three pie charts illustrate the distribution of book
sales
by genre over a span of four decades, from 1972 to 2012.
Overall
, it is evident that the popularity of adult fiction
significantly increased during this
period, while
the sales
proportions of travel books, biographies, and other genres experienced a decline.
In 1972, adults' fiction
comprised 20% of total book sales
, which rose dramatically to 25% in 1992, eventually surging to 45% by 2012. Meanwhile, children's fiction
started strong at 25% but saw a decline to 20% in 1992, and only partially recovered to 25% in the final year. This
indicates a shifting preference among readers towards adult fiction
, with children's books losing some market share initially
, yet stabilizing towards the end of the period.
Conversely
, the genres of biography, travel, and others exhibited a downward trend over the same timeframe. Biographies initially
accounted for 15% of book sales
in 1972 but experienced a slight increase to 18% in 1992 before plummeting to 10% in 2012. Similarly
, travel books were represented by 20% in 1972 but dropped to 15% in 1992 and further
declined to 8% by 2012. The category labelled 'others' began at 20%, rose to 22%, and culminated at 12%, reflecting a dwindling interest in these remaining genres in juxtaposition to the rising appeal of adult fiction
