In Dosdoce’s new study, American publishers’ interest in producing Spanish-language audiobooks is seen as rising rapidly.
Study: Approaching 10,000 Spanish Audiobooks
According to what American publishers have told a new study, they produced a total of some 150 audiobooks in Spanish in 2018 and this year will produce 250 such titles.
In addition, the report sees Audible Studios turning out an average 40 to 45 new Spanish-language audiobooks monthly, “which will bring close to another 500 titles in Spanish by the end of the year,” per the study’s narrative.
The founding CEO of Dosdoce in Spain, Javier Celaya is among the best recognized and most reliable interpreters of the Spanish-language markets in international publishing circles. And in his new research, Celaya is reiterating his prediction that by year’s end, there will be more than 10,000 Spanish-language audiobooks on world markets—a head-turning jump from less than 6,000 at the end of 2017.
