This year’s findings, pulled from Edison Research’s Infinite Dial, unveil US mothers as enthusiastic digital audio consumers with diverse listening habits.
This tech-savvy group, increasingly interested in smartwatches and wireless earphones, holds significant influence, controlling 85% of household spending, totalling around $3 trillion annually.
Edison’s 2024 study, supported by Audacy, Cumulus Media, and SiriusXM Media, indicates that 98% of US moms own smartphones, 47% own smartwatches (up from 37% in 2023), and 75% own wireless earphones (an increase from 71% last year). These smart devices enhance moms’ audio experiences, with 43% listening to podcasts weekly and 82% engaging with digital audio in the past week.
Furthermore, US moms spend an average of four hours and four minutes online daily, with 97% using social media and 96% engaging with it in the past week. Smartphones’ accessibility facilitates constant connectivity, effectively transforming downtime into valuable digital engagement opportunities.
