Well Americans have endured 3 billion more robocalls in 2025 than in 2024 according to YouMail’s famous Robocall Index.

The Index reveals Americans received 4,829,181,100 robocalls in May, 2025 as opposed to 4,480,264,800 in May, 2025– an increase of over 400MM calls in a single month.

Year to date figures are even worse, with consumers having received 23.7BB robocalls in 2025 compared to ~20BB this same time frame last year. This amounts to an increase of nearly 20% year over year.

Not clear what is driving the trend but the percentage of telemarketing calls remains high– 35%. That means approximately 1,.7BB marketing robocalls were made in May, 2025.

As these numbers continue to rise we can expect regulators and legislators to pay attention and look for ways to bring these figures down.

In the meantime the work of R.E.A.C.H.–a trade organization committed to stopping unwanted robocalls– has become all the more important.

Notably 2024 saw a big decrease in robocalls leading up to the expected adoption of the FCC’s one-to-one consent rule in January, 2025. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals struck down that ruling– which would have made it harder for website to share consumer data with telemarketers.

The increase in robocalling activity has gone hand in hand with a huge recent increase in TCPA filings. However while robocalls are up 20% YoY, TCPA class actions are up over 100% YoY so although the trend appears correlated it is not proportional.

We’ll keep an eye on this.
