Podcasting Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Genre Type (News & Politics, Society & Culture, Comedy, Sports, and Others), By Format Type (Interviews, Panels, Solo, Repurposed Content, and Conversational) and Region  

Podcasting Market size was valued at US$ 13.2 billion in 2023, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 29% from 2024-2030. Podcasting also called radio on demand, is a recorded automated program that customers can hear to or look online through download as a file or a subscription on a playback tool. Moreover, podcasting is extensively used in educational learning and teaching as it proposes easy audio delivery knowledge sources. Audio distribution content has been there for approximately two decades. Previously, audio content was obtainable only on computers, media players, and iPods, with mostly radio, shows being advertised on podcasts. Conventional devices with restricted features made podcast content unreachable for mobile phone operators. However, the discrete format of podcasting has gathered attention in recent times. Numerous progressions in smartphones, laptops, Bluetooth speakers, and tablets and growing disposable income can lead to the podcasting market growth.

Moreover, the ease of listening to podcasts along with other activities simultaneously and the increase in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are some primary factors that can boost the global podcasting market. Apart from these, the increasing adoption of smartphones and availability of inexpensive data has created an excellent surrounding for players with streaming backgrounds to flourish and prosper, which can also accelerate the market in the future. However, some factors such as the slow speed of the internet and lack of awareness with respect to podcasts, can restrain the growth of the market. The beginning of services based on subscriptions and increasing listeners of podcasts can create an opportunity for the global podcasting market growth. Moreover, increasing acceptance of political and news segments and sports segments is an emerging trend in the market.

  • In August 2022, YouTube launched a devoted podcast homepage for US users. In July 2022, Acast acquired Podchaser to strengthen their business.
