- The 2018 Infinite Dial Study by Edison Research and Triton Digital® unveils the latest research in digital audio, social media, mobile, smart speakers, and podcast consumption.
- The two most talked-about sectors in audio today – podcasting and Smart Speakers – post significant gains in this year’s Infinite Dial study from Edison Research and Triton Digital.
- Podcasting continues to steadily grow, as 44% of Americans 12+ now say they have ever listened to a podcast, up from 40% from last year.
- The average number of podcast shows being listened to is up to 7 from 5 prior years
- Typically podcast listeners listen to 80% of episodes they actually consume
- Podcasting’s in-car gains continue as well: a year ago, 18% of podcast listeners described the car as the place they most often listened to podcasts; this year, that number is 22%.
- This year’s report spotlights the growth of Smart Speakers, voice-controlled devices such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home.
- Today, 18% of Americans 12+ (an estimated 51 million people), live in households that have at least one Smart Speaker. This means that Smart Speaker ownership has more than doubled from 7% just one year ago, which shows
- Smart Speaker adoption is at a faster rate than the early days of the smartphone, which showed only 4% growth in a comparable timeframe.
- Monthly Online Radio audience is now 180 million Americans, or 64% of Americans 12+, due to growth in Spotify, Apple Music and Alexa-driven Amazon Music listening.
- Despite the rise of other services, Pandora continues to lead in the online radio space—31% of Americans have listened in the past month they are poking around Podcasting
- The portion of Americans 12+ using Facebook has declined from 67% to 62%
- As Smart Speaker ownership rises there is a continued decline in standalone radio ownership (29% do not own an AM/FM radio in the home)
44% of Americans 12+ have ever listened to an audiobook
