In-car DAB+“reaching maturity” reflected at World DAB Automotive 2023

Mike Terry All Messages By This Member #46 开云体育 19.06.2023 In-vehicle DAB+ is now “reaching maturity”, said WorldDAB President Patrick Hannon as he opened WorldDAB Automotive 2023 in Paris on Thursday. Hannon cited figures showing that 96% of new cars sold within the European Union came with DAB+, meaning 10 million new vehicles on the road in Europe with DAB+ in 2022. He described this level of DAB+ in-car penetration as “completely transforming the radio landscape,” adding: “this change is clearly illustrated by listening figures in the UK, where, for the first time, DAB now accounts for more than 50 percent of all radio listening in cars.” Over 500 delegates from 60 countries gathered at Maison de la Radio, home of Radio France in Paris, for this annual hybrid conference, which brings together the broadcast and automotive sectors. All the major automotive OEMs, along with many key suppliers, attended the event, which was organised by WorldDAB, the global industry forum for DAB+ digital radio. (World DAB)
