Dutch consumers in 2024 were least likely to read a magazine on a daily basis than ever during the previous ten years. This based on the results of a survey that measured every year whether or not consumers read a magazine each day (or close to each day). It suggests that magazine readership in the Netherlands fluctuated between 2013 and 2024, but generally decreased. In 2013, 22 percent of respondents indicated that they read magazines (almost) daily, whereas this percentage reached a new low, at 10 percent, in 2024.
