Hachette Livre, filiale de Lagardère SCA, est le troisième éditeur de livres grand public (trade) et d’éducation dans le monde. Sur le périmètre France, Hachette Livre, fruit d’une construction patiente entamée en 1826, couvre, à travers une quarantaine de maisons, tous les segments de l’édition grand public et a publié plus de 8000 nouveautés en 2017. Dans le segment scolaire, le nom de Louis Hachette, fortement attaché à l’univers des livres scolaires, côtoie les noms prestigieux de Hatier et de Larousse. Une dizaine de maisons, fortes de catalogues qui font partie du patrimoine national, couvrent la littérature générale. Dans l’univers pratique, trois maisons d’édition de première importance, Hachette Pratique, Marabout et Larousse, permettent au Groupe d’être leader sur ce segment. Hachette Livre est très présente sur le segment de la littérature pour enfants et des dictionnaires et encyclopédies. La bande dessinée fait également partie du Groupe depuis que les Éditions Albert-René, éditeur du mythique Astérix le Gaulois, ont rejoint Hachette Livre. Au moment où les lecteurs s’équipent de liseuses et de tablettes, les éditeurs redoublent d’imagination pour utiliser les possibilités des supports numériques.
