Audiobook sales continued its seven-year trend of double-digit growth, according to the Audio Publishers Association, and the Association of American Publishers reports that digital audiobooks grew by 36 percent between the first halves of 2017 and 2018. Moreover, in 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and up listened to an audiobook, up from 44% in 2018, according to Edison Research and Triton Digital.

According to The NBD Group, politics and policy book sales rose 32% in 2018, and experts predict an explosion of audio content around politics and policy leading up to the next presidential election and beyond. The heightened interest created by the current dynamic political landscape provides an unprecedented publishing opportunity for journalists, authors and commentators.
