The publishing market in Gambia is developing as the demand for educational and recreational content grows. Both traditional print and digital platforms are playing a role in meeting the needs of an increasingly literate population. The growth of digital publishing is particularly notable, driven by smartphone penetration and internet accessibility.
The Gambia`s publishing market is experiencing a shift driven by digital transformation and the growing demand for local content creation. With increased internet access and mobile penetration, digital publishing platforms are gaining popularity, allowing local authors, journalists, and organizations to reach broader audiences. This trend is being further supported by the government`s push for improved education and literacy, which is encouraging the creation of more educational materials and local publications. The rise in e-books and online news platforms is reshaping the publishing landscape in The Gambia.
The publishing market in Gambia struggles with low literacy rates and limited demand for locally published content. High production and distribution costs make books and other publications less accessible to the general population. Additionally, the market lacks investment in digital publishing platforms, which could expand reach and reduce costs.
Cultural policies aim to support the publishing industry by providing grants for local authors and publishers. The government also encourages digital transformation to expand the market reach.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
