Searching for Good YA Publishing Statistics//

So I am currently working on doing some hardcore YA collection data analysis for my library. In addition to looking at what we have and how much it circulates, I was curious to know how much YA is published yearly to get a better idea of our YA collection size relative to what is available for purchase. And then, out of curiosity, I was curious to know what percentage of books published each year fall into the YA category. To be honest, this data has been much harder to find then I anticipated. Below I have collected some resources that I have found and tweeted about. If you have some good resources or data, I would love for you to share in the comments.


My questions are:

How many YA titles were published in 2017?

What percentage of titles published in 2017 were YA?

Is the number of YA titles being published growing, shrinking, or staying the same?

Thank you,

Karen
