, Extract B
The music subscription market in Europe and North America 2017
Habits of music consumers have changed, as they are streaming music now instead of
downloading it. Consumers are increasingly listening to music at home, by using Amazon
Echo or Google Home, rather than through smartphones or laptops.
Five music subscription services were launched between 2015 and 2017, but none of
these made a profit. However, businesses such as Apple, Google and Amazon can afford
to operate music services at a loss.
Product development is a feature of the market. Music acts such as Coldplay and
Deadmau5 have already embraced virtual reality (VR) with immersive music videos,
where viewers can be part of the video.
Spotify, the largest music streaming service by number of users in the US and Europe,
was launched in 2008. Its latest strategy is to add short video clips to its playlists. The
clips are aimed at tempting listeners to purchase Spotify’s new subscription video
service. This is crucial because its existing streaming service continues to make losses.
A typical music streaming business pays over 70% of its subscription revenue to record
labels and publishers. Video streaming enables Spotify to gain additional revenue from
advertising. In 2018, Spotify needed to make profits as it planned to be a public limited
company, through a stock market flotation.
Spotify’s rival, Apple Music, has taken a different approach to video streaming, signing
artists such as U2 for millions of dollars to stream exclusively for its 27 million subscribers.
