On World Radio Day, 13 February, WorldDAB is releasing its latest infographic, which highlights the ongoing global growth of DAB+. The updated graphic shows device sales now nearing the 150 million milestone, with the fast-growing markets of France and Australia leading the way with sales of receivers now over 10 million each, alongside the well-established DAB+ auto market. Sales in eleven core markets now total 145,195,000, and almost all new cars across Europe come with DAB+ as standard. The infographic is published by WorldDAB — the global industry forum for DAB+ digital radio — on 13 February to mark UNESCO’s World Radio Day, reflecting broadcast radio’s vital role as a relatively free and portable public safety net during emergencies. This year’s theme is “radio and climate change.”
