UK tops European streaming market

The UK’s digital music industry is forecast to hit a revenue of one billion U.S. dollars by the end of 2020, making it the leading European market ahead of Germany and France. Despite consisting of both purchases (individual tracks and/or albums) and streaming subscriptions, the industry owes most of its revenue to the latter. In fact, streaming is forecasted to continue generating more each year until at least 2025, according to Statista’s market outlook. In contrast, revenue from music downloads will remain roughly the same. As of the first quarter of 2020, Spotify is the leading music streaming service in the UK.

Spotify’s declining ARPU

With the increasing uptake of Spotify’s family plans and various other bundles, users are discovering more ways to cut their monthly streaming budget. In light of this, Spotify’s ARPU (average revenue per user) is forecast to experience a gradual decline starting from 2021. This will have little effect on the penetration rate of music streaming in the UK however, which is expected to continue increasing each year.
