Delta Think Open Access Journals Report: "Market Sizing Update 2023"


  • 2022’s OA market grew by a little over 24% from 2021. This is around two thirds of the growth we saw in 2021. . . .
  • Given the exceptionally high growth in 2020 and 2021, a correction in 2022 was expected. . . .
  • Growth in hybrid revenues was a major factor driving growth in OA, although all types of OA saw improved revenues per article, which helped to drive growth.
  • Currency effects contributed to reduced growth. Many publishers operate in non-USD currencies, which lost value against the US dollar in 2022. . . .
  • Just over 49% of all scholarly articles were published as paid-for open access in 2022, accounting for just under 20% of the total journal publishing market value.
  • We anticipate a 2022-2025 CAGR (average growth each year) of 13% in OA output and 13% in OA market value.
