Spotify Expands Audiobook Access to Over 180 Markets
Spotify has announced the expansion of its audiobook service to over 180 markets globally, significantly increasing access for more than 750 million users. This move aims to strengthen Spotify's position in both music streaming and the competitive audiobook market by offering content across multiple languages and regions beyond previously available English-speaking areas like the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. The platform now offers over 350,000 titles in more than 120 languages. In Spain alone, users will have access to over 45,000 Spanish-language audiobooks. Spotify has partnered with major publishers such as Planeta and Mondadori to expand its catalog across different regions. Spotify offers various subscription models for audiobook access, including a Premium plan that allows up to 12 hours of listening per month in select countries. The company also introduced an Audiobook+ standalone option offering 15 hours monthly or the ability to purchase individual titles.
