United Kingdom Audiobooks Market Growth

The audiobooks market in United Kingdom is driven by its huge publishing industry and English-speaking population. According to the “Vision for Publishing 2023” report by the UK’s Publisher’s Association, the industry contributed EUR 11 billion to the country’s overall economy by exporting highest number of books globally. Furthermore, it generated a total revenue of EUR 7.1 billion, out of which digital publishing with e-books and audiobooks accounted for EUR 3.2 billion.

 

The market is also being driven by a change in people’s reading habits as audiobooks are being preferred over e-books and hard copies. A recent survey conducted by the National Literacy Trust in 2021 affirmed that over 2 in every 5 UK adults listened to audiobooks in their spare time while nearly 3 in 10 read them at least once every week. This high inclination towards audiobooks can be attributed to the flexibility of reading and multi-tasking provided by them, further enhancing United Kingdom audiobooks market value. Furthermore, audiobooks have not only made reading accessible but also more captivating for the growing Gen-Z and millennial population. Social media reviews on bestsellers, convenient use of smartphone devices, and efficient narrations by well-known celebrities have been a major factor in driving the adoption of audiobooks among young readers.

 

Additionally, the market has so far witnessed organic growth, yet both public as well as private sector are actively participating to support the audiobooks demand growth in United Kingdom. For instance, the government’s elimination of Value Added Tax (VAT) from audio books has made them cost-friendly, which has driven their sales. Similarly, the entry of music streaming platforms such as Spotify in the UK market has made audiobooks accessible to many subscribers. Additionally, the introduction of startups such as books.org has opened new opportunities for independent bookshops to feature their audiobooks with full profit margin on every sale. These efforts have positively impacted the market growth.
