The Business Research Company's children and young adult books market research report expands on key drivers, trends, and growth opportunities in the market.

LONDON, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Children and young adult books companies are increasingly offering audiobooks for children and young adults to enjoy books and also engage reluctant readers. Through audiobooks, children can learn speech patterns, rhythms, voices, and expressions that can be difficult to learn from a physical book. It also gives a broader exposure to new words and syntax and allows children to multitask while listening to their favorite titles, giving them better convenience. With the recent adoption of smart home speakers and other connected devices, audiobooks are easily integrated into people's lifestyles. For instance, in 2022, according to a US-based printing products company titled Eye-Popping Book and Reading Statistics 2022, the number of audiobooks published climbed from roughly 6,000 to more than 71,000 per year between 2010 and 2020, a rise of 1083.33% in ten years.

The global children and young adult books market size is expected to grow from $10.82 billion in 2021 to $11.34 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The children and young adult books market is expected to reach $13.02 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 3.5%.

In addition to this, there were 3.6 billion smartphone users in 2020, and it is expected to grow to 4.3 billion by 2023.
