These Spotify statistics use the latest company-reported figures available through March 2026 and focus on platform size, premium subscribers, revenue, creator payouts, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Spotify reported 751 million monthly active users and 290 million premium subscribers in 184 markets at the end of 2025.
Year-end monthly active users rose from 406 million in 2021 to 751 million in 2025.
Year-end premium subscribers grew from 180 million in 2021 to 290 million in 2025.
Spotify’s Q4 revenue increased from €2.689 billion in 2021 to €4.5 billion in 2025.
Q4 2025 gross margin reached 33.1%, while operating income reached €701 million.
Spotify said Q4 2025 delivered the highest monthly active user net additions in its history.
Spotify now says listeners can access more than 100 million tracks and 7 million podcast titles on the platform.
Spotify counted more than 100 million regular podcast listeners in 2023 and said more than half a billion people had listened to at least one podcast on the platform since 2019.
Spotify said there were more than 5 million podcast shows on the platform in 2023, with podcasts available in more than 170 markets.
Spotify paid more than $100 million to podcast publishers and podcasters worldwide in Q1 2025 alone.
Spotify paid more than $11 billion to the music industry in 2025 and said its all-time payouts were nearly $70 billion.
Independent artists and labels accounted for roughly half of Spotify royalties in 2025.
Spotify’s audiobook catalog grew from 150,000 titles at launch in 2023 to more than 700,000 titles by March 2026.
Wrapped 2025 generated more than 300 million engaged users and more than 630 million shares globally in 56 languages.
Spotify’s scale kept expanding through the end of 2025. Monthly active users, premium subscribers, and quarterly revenue all moved materially higher than their 2021 levels, which shows that the platform is still adding reach while also improving monetization.
The business is also becoming broader than a music-only subscription service. Podcasts remain a major audience driver, creator monetization is expanding beyond traditional ads, music payouts keep climbing, and audiobooks are scaling quickly enough to become one of Spotify’s clearest newer growth categories.
