Spotify has announced an expansion of its audiobooks offering to more than 180 markets worldwide, significantly broadening the reach of the service beyond its earlier footprint.
As part of the expansion, the company says roughly 350,000 audiobook titles will become available in more than 120 languages, giving users in newly added markets access to a large catalogue of titles.
Growing push into audio content
The move follows Spotify's broader strategy of diversifying beyond music streaming into audiobooks and podcasts, aiming to deepen engagement with subscribers and attract new ones in markets where audiobook access has previously been limited.
Spotify has not detailed region-specific rollout timelines or pricing for the expanded audiobook catalogue as part of this announcement.
The company has steadily built out its audiobooks catalogue in recent years as competition in the audio-content space has intensified among streaming platforms.
