This report celebrates a landmark year of record-breaking engagement and revenue, driven by an ever-expanding content library and a passionate global audience.
A Phenomenal Year of Entertainment

Interestingly, the platform's gender distribution showcased a near balance, with 53% male and 47% female listeners.
Pocket FM's AI-powered innovation fueled this growth. AI-generated audio series expanded the content library by an astounding 36X, while human-narrated series improved by 2X. This commitment to innovation translated into massive financial success, with over seven audio series surpassing $10 million in revenue - a 600% increase from 2023 - and 35 audio series achieving million-dollar status, three times more than the previous year.
