Storytel announced in February that during the summer of 2019, it would be entering the German market –– and today its German service goes online, making Germany Storytel’s 17th market.
Germany’s audio-book market accounts for approximately 180 million Euros in annual turnover, and is in a state of transition with streaming comprising the fastest growing segment.
“Our soft launch in Germany comes at an exciting time, when lots of people are showing interest in streaming services and discovering the benefits of being able to enjoy stories anytime, anywhere. It feels fantastic to know that Storytel, which is Scandinavia’s leading audio-book service, is contributing to increasing the pace of these developments in one of Europe’s most populous and important countries. We’re looking towards the future with confidence and a great deal of enthusiasm,” says Stefan Tegenfalk, Head of Expansion at Storytel.
