Radio Broadcasting in Estonia - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

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.
