podcast measurement and use
In Germany there are currently no uniform standards for the range measurement of podcasts, which makes it difficult to compare the data. The charts are based on rankings of the platforms, whereby both Apple and Spotify create their own criteria. While the IAB standard for measuring podcast downloads is established in the United States, this is not yet used across the board in Germany. According to the information of the Iab Tech Lab , companies such as Audible and Podtrac are involved in the development, which should contribute to improving the comparability of ranges.
statistics on podcast use show that around 30% of the German population hears a podcast at least once a month and that the proportion of occasional listeners rose from 14% in 2016 to around 45% in 2024. The majority of the users are between 14 and 29 years old. According to Statista , the most popular genres in Germany are shaped by true crime, news and politics.
The podcast market in Germany generated around 52 million euros in 2023. Forecasts indicate that sales of up to 67 million euros are possible by 2028. This reflects the continuous increase in the popularity of podcasts, especially among younger, educated listeners who make up over 50% of podcast users in Germany.
