Overview of the global digital music content market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global digital music content market to grow at a CAGR of around 9% by 2020. The digital music content market is undergoing a gradual replacement of digital music records and CDs by several alternatives such as portable storage devices like iPods, multimedia players, and cloud-storage services. People prefer listening to music through cloud music that allows them to store, stream, download, and share the content. Cloud computing has become a crucial component in the market as it offers legal access to online music, even from the remote servers. Services like iTunes Match have gained huge popularity in the market and have accelerated the frequency of music downloads. In addition, the market is also gaining tremendous support from the social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube, which help artists to create content that their fans demand and help in more active participation from the audience side. Such developments will positively impact the growth of this market during the forecast period.

EMEA will be the fastest-growing region in the digital music content market and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 14% by 2020. European countries such as the UK, Germany, and Sweden are the major revenue-contributing nations in the region. The primary reason for this region’s growth will be the strong music development in Africa. Africa’s digital music content and downloading scenario are witnessing high competition from domestic players like iROKING, Spinlet, and Simfy which are trying to establish themselves in the global market, will further accelerate growth in the overall region during the forecast period.

Segmentation by type and analysis of the digital music content market

Music streaming services enable the users with real-time, uninterrupted access to music without downloading files. The users can legally avail high-quality songs for free for a pre-defined period or by paying a minimal subscription fee. Much of the segment’s growth can be attributed to the emerging music streaming sites, high-speed internet, cloud technologies, and rapidly changing customer requirements. The growing demand for real-time music access will be the major factor spurring growth in the music streaming market over the next four years. The subscription-based music streaming is expected to be the largest contributor to the music streaming market.

The use of the digital platforms to listen to music is more popular among the younger population, especially age group of 18-40, as they are technologically advanced. The music distributors are offering high-quality music and options such as cloud storage space in order to attract more users, which will drive further growth of this segment in the coming years.
