Spotify Expands Audiobook Streaming to Over 180 Countries
Spotify has announced that its audiobook streaming service, available as a premium benefit offering up to 12 hours of content per month, will expand from 22 countries to over 180 by the end of 2026. The expansion includes new catalogs in multiple languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Polish, with more than 350,000 titles now available across over 120 languages. This move is part of Spotify's broader strategy to diversify its content offerings beyond music into the growing audiobook market. The global rollout reflects increasing demand for on-demand audio entertainment in non-English markets and positions Spotify as a key player in this segment, competing with other digital platforms like Audible. The expansion could significantly impact Spotify’s international subscriber growth by making premium subscriptions more appealing to users worldwide.
