Looking ahead: In 2024, podcasts will reach about 40% of the population and 45% of internet users in the US at least once a month. By the end of the following year, there will be 142.7 million monthly podcast listeners. Among them, 43.6 million will listen via Spotify and 29.1 million will listen via Apple Podcasts.
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated Spotify's yearly listener numbers. That issue has been fixed.
