Audiobooks A New Era

Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in publishing, with no signs of slowing down.

Projected Growth

Audiobook growth is projecting an average annual growth rate of 24.4% between 2020 to 2027. According to The Bookseller, only 7% of books have a corresponding audiobook.

Emerging Market

"Often audio listening is not competing with time spent reading printed books," says Richard Lennon, publisher at Penguin Audio. A study by The Publisher’s Association found 54 per cent of UK audiobook buyers listen to them for their convenience, while 41 per cent choose the format because it allows them to consume books when reading print isn’t possible.

New Audience

Audio is pulling in new audiences – whether that’s listeners who don’t usually buy books, or readers listening to genres in audio format that they wouldn’t pick up in print. Research by Nielsen Book found downloads of audiobooks in the UK were particularly high among urban-dwelling males aged 25 to 44.
