RBmedia Breaks into French-Language Audiobook Market
Notable Éditions Thélème audiobook titles include:
Adeline Defay , Éditions Thélème founder and managing director said, "I founded Éditions Thélème when I noticed a hole in the French publishing market—there was no audiobook offering for classic literature. Since its creation more than 30 years ago, our motto has always been 'great authors read by great actors.' It's rewarding to see RBmedia further our goal of making these essential texts accessible to everyone, everywhere."
Audiobook usage and awareness as a format is on the rise globally. The market size has been growing significantly over the last few years and is projected to reach USD 15 billion globally by 2027, according to a report by Grand View Research.
Miles Stevens-Hoare , Managing Director of RBmedia international said, "RBmedia has established itself in the English, Spanish and German language audiobook markets—Éditions Thélème is the next step in our expansion into additional languages. With the increasing global demand for audiobooks, which we have seen mirrored in
France , Éditions Thélème gives us the perfect platform to develop our French language business."
Éditions Thélème will join W. F. Howes, Wavesound, BookaVivo, and RBmedia Verlag as RBmedia's international audiobook publishing businesses.
