Podcasts are Booming, but Data is Woeful


Facts:

  • "Revenue is expected to reach $659 million in 2020, up from $314 million in 2017, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers US." (source)

  • There’s no Nielsen-like agency providing advertisers with information. "Right now, advertisers rely almost entirely on download figures to determine the value of advertising on a podcast." (source)

  • "more than half of all podcast listens come from Apple Podcasts. Spotify represents nearly one-fifth of all listens, and smaller platforms make up the remainder." (source)
