The Digital Music market in Estonia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.
Customer preferences: Estonian consumers have shown a strong preference for digital music over physical formats. The convenience and accessibility of streaming platforms have made them increasingly popular among music lovers in the country. Additionally, the younger generation, which makes up a significant portion of the population, has grown up in a digital era and is more inclined to consume music through online platforms.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Estonian digital music market is the shift from ownership to access. With the rise of streaming services, consumers are moving away from purchasing individual songs or albums and instead opting for subscription-based models that offer unlimited access to a vast library of music. This trend is driven by the convenience and affordability of streaming platforms, as well as the growing popularity of curated playlists and personalized recommendations. Another trend in the market is the increasing demand for local music. Estonian artists and bands have gained recognition both domestically and internationally, and consumers in Estonia are showing a growing interest in supporting local talent. Streaming platforms have played a crucial role in promoting and distributing local music, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
Local special circumstances: Estonia, being a small country with a population of around 1. 3 million, has a relatively limited domestic music market. This has led to a greater reliance on international music for Estonian consumers. Streaming platforms have provided a platform for Estonian listeners to discover and access a diverse range of music from around the world. Furthermore, Estonia has a highly developed digital infrastructure, with widespread access to high-speed internet and mobile connectivity. This has facilitated the growth of the digital music market, as consumers can easily stream music on their smartphones, tablets, or computers.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The overall economic growth in Estonia has had a positive impact on the digital music market. As disposable incomes have increased, consumers have been able to allocate a larger portion of their budget towards entertainment, including digital music subscriptions. The stable economic environment and favorable business conditions have also attracted international streaming platforms to enter the Estonian market, providing consumers with a wider range of options. In conclusion, the Digital Music market in Estonia has experienced significant growth due to customer preferences for digital formats, trends such as the shift from ownership to access and the demand for local music, as well as local special circumstances such as a reliance on international music and a developed digital infrastructure. The underlying macroeconomic factors, including economic growth and favorable business conditions, have also contributed to the development of the market.

The market size is determined through a bottom-up approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as various macroeconomic indicators, historical developments, current trends, and reported performance indicators of key market players. In particular, we consider average prices and annual purchase frequencies.Forecasts:
We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.Additional notes:
