The global podcasting market size is expected to reach USD 130.63 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 27.6% from 2023 to 2030. Podcasting is an episodic series of digital media, often audio, that can be listened to or watched over the internet or downloaded on a device. The increasing popularity of audio-on-demand platforms is the primary factor driving the market growth. Other factors contributing to the market growth include minimal entry barriers for the creators and easy accessibility for the users, as they can listen to podcasts while performing tasks such as cleaning, walking, gardening, traveling, or exercising.
The recent evolution of podcasting content, wherein various creators are discussing un debated global scenarios, is bringing about numerous growth opportunities for the market. The subscriber base of podcasts pertaining to racism, patriarchy, and political disputes, among others, is significantly growing, thereby encouraging companies and creators to come up with more content that taps diverse audiences.
For instance, in June 2021, iHeartMedia, Inc. partnered with Celsius, the global industry-leading crypto currency yield-earning platform, to launch a new iHeartRadio original podcast network and reach out to new audiences with crypto currency education in creative and innovative ways.
In addition, in December 2022, Spotify partnered with Inevitable Foundation, a non-profit organization for disabled people, to support and empower podcasters with disabilities. Meanwhile, challenges such as limited mobile phone storage and low internet connectivity are likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 outbreak has unfolded new opportunities for the podcasting platform, where many creators are offering content with the sole purpose of educating the global population on the hidden long-term effects of the coronavirus. National public health organizations and private healthcare entities are also releasing podcasts to spread awareness among the masses about the prevention of the virus. For instance, the American Hospital Association (AHA) has released a podcast to talk about community health improvement during and after the pandemic.
