Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing preference for on-demand music services is notably driving the recorded music market growth, although factors such as illegal downloads and piracy may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the recorded music industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Recorded Music Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the recorded music market is the increasing preference for on-demand music services. The presence of factors such as a rise in the number of devices supporting digital media, coupled with increased internet penetration and access speed, has provided consumers with a wide range of options to access media content at any time and from anywhere. The growing integration of cloud computing features in smartphones offers numerous benefits to users and is likely to affect revenue globally. Consumers are attracted to music on-demand services, mainly due to the free subscription services offered by most of the market players. In addition, several music streaming applications allow consumers to personalize their preferences and content. Furthermore, various developments in wired and wireless technologies and telecommunication standards such as 3G, 4G, and 5G have resulted in improvements in internet bandwidth, thus ultimately increasing the adoption of music on-demand services across the world.
Key Recorded Music Market Trend
The increasing preference for music streaming services is a recorded music market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The number of consumers opting for paid subscription services for streaming music increased, crossing 520 million customers globally. There are 18% new subscribers opting for music streaming services every year worldwide. Globally, the development of wired and wireless technologies and telecommunication standards such as 3G, 4G, and 5G has resulted in an improvement in internet bandwidth, thereby supporting the adoption of music streaming services across the world. To increase the subscription of paid music streaming services, Pandora and YouTube are experimenting with different options. For instance, these companies are increasingly including advertisements in free music streaming services, compelling customers to shift from free music streaming services to add-free paid subscription models, which, in turn, is contributing to the growth of the global recorded music market during the forecast period.
Key Recorded Music Market Challenge
The illegal downloads and piracy will be a major challenge for the recorded music market during the forecast period. Only a few countries in Europe, such as the UK, France, and Germany, have proper piracy laws. In countries such as Portugal, the Netherlands, and Spain, copyright piracy is rampant. In some countries, the downloading of copyrighted works is allowed for personal use. For instance, in Switzerland, the laws prohibit third parties from monitoring peer-to-peer networks. However, it is illegal to upload a file for torrenting. With rapid changes in the business model of the music industry, especially the shift to digital music, it has become very difficult to curb piracy. The growing base of internet users has increased the possibility of pirated physical and digital copies of music being made available online. Thus, piracy is a challenge for the global recorded music market.
