With membership now standing at 700 enterprises which includes nearly 60 national magazine associations, FIPP is constantly expanding its global reach hence its ability to assist members throughout the world by nurturing strategic partnerships with digital content magazines and organisations.^[3] This allows FIPP to assist members to develop better strategies and businesses and to remain at the forefront of information technology advances of particular interest to the magazine media industry.^[4]

In recent years FIPP has been promoting and encouraging the growth of so-called ‘cross-border’ magazines, where an existing magazine based in a home country expands into other, external territories.^[8]
