LIMASSOL, Cyprus — The global audiobook market is projected to grow from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $35.5 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. For ABP Publishing, that growth translates into a concrete catalogue strategy: selective acquisitions across established and emerging language territories, with a focus on non-fiction titles that carry long-term audio potential beyond their original publication market.
In 2025, the company released more than 50 audiobook titles across seven languages, with titles spanning business, psychology, and self-development categories. Each title is selected for its long-term audio potential and adaptability across language markets, rather than short-term sales volume alone.
ABP Publishing’s established markets include German, French, and Italian, where the company operates through three dedicated imprints: ABP Verlag, ABP Éditions, and ABP Editore. The company is also actively developing new-language directions, including Arabic, Bulgarian, Turkish, and Portuguese, with selected bestselling titles adapted for these territories. This multilingual approach allows ABP Publishing to tailor its catalogue strategy to different regional audiences while working with publishers and rights holders across worldwide.
“Our focus today is on building a sustainable and carefully curated catalogue with long-tail audio potential,” said Viktoria Salnikova, Chief Editor at ABP Publishing. “We continue refining our multilingual production workflows, from acquisition and translation to narration and QA, and selecting titles that remain relevant for listeners across different markets and platforms for years after their initial release.”
“Our goal is to remain a reliable long-term partner for publishers and rights holders looking to expand into global audio markets,” commented Andrey Mishenev, CEO of ABP Publishing. “The audiobook industry continues evolving rapidly. The non-fiction segment alone is projected to grow at over 27% annually through 2030, according to Grand View Research, and we see strong opportunities in both established European markets and selected emerging language territories where audio consumption is growing fastest.”
ABP Publishing currently publishes non-fiction audiobooks in seven languages and continues exploring new partnership opportunities with international publishers, literary agents, and rights holders.
