The Radio Broadcasting industry in France is grappling with a significant transformation as traditional radio listenership continues its long-term decline. With weekly radio listeners dipping from 43.3 million in 2012 to 38.7 million projected in 2024, according to Lettre Pro, it's clear that consumer preferences are shifting towards digital platforms like streaming services and podcasts. The level of digitalisation, size of the over 65-year-old population and demand from advertisers are also key influences on the performance of the French radio broadcasting industry. Revenue is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to £814.5 million over the five years through 2025, reflecting a challenging period marked by heightened competition from digital platforms, evolving listener habits and reduced demand from advertisers. In an increasingly digital age, major French broadcasters like Radio France and NRJ Group have had to continuously innovate their offering, like incorporating digital audio broadcasting (DAB), to stay relevant. The rapid rise of podcasting, both as a listenable and watchable experience, has lifted a considerable chunk of the audience from terrestrial radio, although it has opened up new revenue channels for radio broadcasters as they turn programmes into podcast format. The ease of streaming music due to the simple monthly subscription fee offered by the likes of Spotify and Apple Music enables music fans to stream essentially every song on demand while also having personalised playlists created for them and AI DJs knowing what the listener wants to hear before they themselves do. Radio broadcasters have integrated Radio Data System (RDS), which allows them to send information, including station name, song title or traffic updates, to the dashboard of the radio system, helping to improve the listener experience. Moreover, simulcasting (broadcasting the same program on different platforms simultaneously) helps to reach a broader audience and cater to listener preferences. Looking ahead, the French radio industry is anticipated to endure further challenges. Broadcasters are set to continue losing young audiences to digital alternatives unless they invest in specialised content that could entice younger listeners weary of streaming algorithms. By offering niche programming and high-profile hosts, radio stations can distinguish themselves and revitalise their listener base. Consolidation activity among commercial stations is expected to heighten as they seek to counter global streaming services' competition. While these dynamics present hurdles, they also offer avenues for innovation and adaptation in the evolving radio broadcasting landscape. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is forecast to dwindle at a compound annual rate of 1.6%, reaching £751.9 million. Profit is likely to stabilise as broadcasters streamline their operations and capitalise on monetising digital channels.

Radio broadcasting has undergone a steady decline over the past few decades by a shrinking listenership that has somewhat slowed in recent years, with audience numbers stabilising. In the past, radio stations enjoyed almost exclusive access to the audience's ears, offering them a variety of music and audio entertainment. However, with competition from podcasts and music streaming platforms soaring, many people are opting for these alternative media. Yet, a significant portion of the population still tunes into their radios during their commutes or work hours. Over the five years through 2024, radio broadcasting revenue is projected to have fallen at a compound annual rate of 2.9%, including an estimated 4.5% dip in 2024 alone to sit at a projected €10.7 billion. Europe's radio market sees a strong dominance by public broadcasters who receive a major share of the radio audience in their respective countries. These include the likes of the BBC in the UK, Germany's ARD and Deutschlandradio, and Italy’s RAI. These public broadcasters boast an array of stations catering to different audience preferences. Instead of leaning on ads for revenue, they largely derive their funding from license fees or direct taxes, protecting their revenue from advertisers’ willingness to invest in radio. Digitalisation poses both an opportunity and a challenge for radio. On the one hand, digital radio platforms like BBC Sounds have made it considerably easier to broadcast beyond borders, reaching out to global audiences. Simultaneously, it escalates competition within the sector. This intensifying competition could lead to market consolidation as smaller radio stations struggle to compete both nationally and internationally. Radio broadcasting revenue is projected to expand at a compound annual rate of 1.5% over the five years through 2029 to €11.6 billion.

When considering the larger 18-49 demographic, the study found a total of nearly 124 million weekly radio listeners in the country.

Radio industry

Radio has been an important part of the news and entertainment industries in the U.S. since the Radio Act of 1912 was passed over a century ago. The total number of commercial radio stations grew from around 960 in 1943 to nearly ten thousand in 1993 but experienced much slower development throughout much of the 90s and 2000s. The average American adult spends over 800 minutes listening to the radio per week, which amounts to nearly two hours per day.

Online radio

The internet has brought increased technology to the radio industry whilst retaining the standard format that people know and enjoy. By streaming radio over the internet, stations can reach listeners far beyond their local area. As of 2019, online radio reached over 90 percent of young people in the United States each month.

Rádió 1 followed in the ranking with nearly 1.6 million listeners a day, while Kossuth Rádió ranked third, reaching over one million daily listeners. Daily radio listeners In 2023, the daily number of radio listeners reached over 5.5 million in Hungary. This figure fluctuated minimally over the years, and the number of people listening to the radio stayed between 5.1 and 5.8 million. This means, that over half the Hungarian population listens to the radio regularly. Radio industry revenue The Hungarian traditional radio industry’s revenue amounted to approximately 70 million U.S. dollars in 2023 and is expected to follow an increasing trend in the future, reaching nearly 92 million U.S. dollars by 2029. This is a rather unique phenomenon in the region, with no other CEE country expecting such strong growth. By comparison, Poland’s radio industry revenue is forecast to gradually decrease over the next years.
