Audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular among younger age groups and consumers. The rising popularity of audiobooks among the younger generation is expected to drive market growth, as these individuals are likely to encourage and inspire their relatives and friends, resulting in a bigger pool of prospective buyers. Furthermore, audiobook genre needs for different age groups are expected to differ, creating several opportunities for the audiobook industry.

Audiobooks are currently trending towards younger age groups, with a rising user base. This represents a significant positive industrial development for the sector's long-term growth in the next years. This young gang is supposed to encourage their family and, more than likely, convert a non-reader into an audiobook listener. Young participants may also be inspired by their peers, contributing to a larger group of potential customers. This is also predicted to alter production speed and genre, as younger clients may have different listening preferences. Furthermore, another age group of consumers may have distinct genre preferences, offering multiple opportunities for businesses to enter an unexplored market. As a result, listening and purchasing habits will vary by age demographic, raising the sales volume of audiobooks.

North America had the highest revenue share of more than 45.0% in 2021 and is expected to lead the audiobooks market throughout the forecast period due to early and rapid technological adoption to better user experience. The presence of a large number of prominent firms offering audiobooks in the region is driving market growth. Another factor fueling market expansion is the region's significant number of smartphone users. Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is predicted to grow significantly during the forecast period. This is owing to the availability of a diverse selection of audiobooks in a variety of regional languages. In addition, the use of audiobooks in schools, both in English and in regional languages, to improve student performance is fueling market expansion.
