Statistics
The Audio Publishers Association released results from their two annual surveys, covering data and trends for 2016. Note that these are surveys, and therefore directional rather than absolute. Their consumer tracks listening habits from approximately 1,800 people, while their industry estimates come from a survey of Audio Publishers Association members who publish audiobooks.
