Beyond the chart: By 2025, over 40% of the US population will be monthly podcast listeners, per our forecast. Next year, about 27% of them will tune in on Spotify, while less than 22% will listen via Apple, which continues to lose market share to its Swedish rival and other services.
But Spotify’s growth in podcast listeners and premium subscribers is slowing down. The platform will have to find ways to capitalize on ad revenues without overloading listeners.
