The
global Audiobooks Market size is expected to reach USD
35.04 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 26.2% from 2024 to 2030, according
to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The convergence of artificial
intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) has revolutionized the audiobook
market, enabling personalized recommendations, dynamic narration, and enhanced
accessibility features.
The
surge in demand for audiobook services from public libraries, retail
bookstores, and online subscriptions is a significant driver for market
expansion. Companies are constantly leveraging subscription-based audiobook
services to cater to the increasing demand for convenient and comprehensive
digital reading experiences. For instance, in February 2024, Rakuten Kobo
unveiled its Kobo Plus subscription service to Taiwan and Hong Kong after
launching it in the United States and Europe. The service includes features
such as personalized recommendations and the ability to adjust narration speed,
making the audiobook experience more engaging and user-friendly.
One
of the key trends driving market growth is the increasing demand for audiobooks
among different segments, including adults and kids. The convenience and
accessibility offered by audiobooks make them a popular choice for consumers
looking to enjoy literature on the go or while engaging in other activities. In
addition, the availability of various types of audiobook formats such as MP3,
Windows Media Audio, Advancaterdio Coding, and solid-state preloaded digital
devices caters to diverse consumer preferences, further fueling market growth.
Moreover,
technological advancements have enhanced the performance of audiobook services,
making them more widely used across various end-user groups. Factors such as
consumer behavior analysis and market dynamics, such as the growing popularity
of online subscriptions and retail bookstores, are propelling the market
expansion.
