The bar chart compares the distribution of magazine sales across five categories at a particular company in the years 1975, 1995, and 2015. Overall, sports magazines consistently outperformed other categories, steadily increasing in popularity over the years, while the remaining categories either declined or showed minimal variation.
In 1975, sports magazines dominated the market, accounting for just over 30% of total sales. They were followed closely by health, "other" topics, and fashion magazines, which each made up between 22% and 27% of sales. By contrast, food magazines were the least popular, representing a mere 10% of total sales.
By 1995, notable shifts in consumer preferences were evident. Sports magazines experienced a modest rise to 36%, further consolidating their dominance. The "other" category saw a significant surge, reaching approximately 30%, nearly matching the sports category's starting share. However, health and fashion magazines experienced sharp declines, falling to 20% and 16%, respectively. Food magazines, meanwhile, climbed to 23%, surpassing both health and fashion to become the third most popular category.
In 2015, sports and "other" magazines retained their leading positions, with sales figures of 43% and 27%, respectively, although the latter saw a slight dip from its previous peak. The earlier surge in food magazine sales proved short-lived, as they dropped back to 10%, trailing behind health magazines, which held steady at 20%. Fashion magazines, however, suffered the most dramatic fall, decreasing to just 5%, solidifying their position as the least popular category.
