\t\t\t\t\tMIDiA: Global Recorded Music Revenue Grew 9.4% in 2025, With Bump From Labels\u2019 Share of Expanded\u00a0Rights\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

    \n\tThe Global Music Forecast 2026-2033 study found that while streaming will continue to be the primary driver of growth, the share of revenue coming from expanded rights \u2014 including labels\u2019 share of revenue from branding, merchandise and live events \u2014 will grow as streaming growth flattens in saturated markets and music companies look to diversify revenue streams.<\/p>\n

    \n\tMIDiA projects the value of \u201cthe fan economy\u201d could reach $18.5 billion alone by 2033, according to the report.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cAs streaming comes of age, the music industry\u2019s next growth phase will come from pulling new levers both within and beyond the subscription model,\u201d Tatiana Cirisano<\/strong>, MIDiA\u2019s vp of music strategy, said in a statement. \u201cA growing fan economy is illuminating opportunities outside of traditional streaming. Expanded rights will be central to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe report defines the fan economy as including revenue from physical music sales; streaming revenue from social, fitness, and gaming platforms (sources other than Spotify, Apple Music and other DSPs); and expanded rights from areas like branding and merch.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe report also forecasts retail growth to outpace trade growth, as the DSPs gain greater revenue share from bundling music subscriptions with other audio entertainment and other revenue sources that it does not share with music companies. Music retail revenues are expected to reach $62.7 billion, marking growth of 62.9% compared to trade revenue growth of 57.2%, the report says.<\/p>\n

    \n\tAnd it projects that subscription pricing will evolve in the coming years, which will eventually result in a return to growth for subscription average revenue per user (ARPU). Spotify recently forecast flat ARPU for its upcoming third quarter compared to the same period in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
