Market Growth Factors
The rapid growth of the China music streaming market is driven by the growing smartphone user base, affordable prices for smartphones, and the rollout of 4G and 5G mobile networks that have improved internet connectivity and accessibility. According to GSMA report, there will be 1.29billion unique mobile users in China by 2030, of which 88% will be 5G mobile connection users, driving the uptake of music streaming services with faster speeds and improved quality.
The global streaming service market is increased by collaborations with independent artists as well as entertainment companies, including exclusive contracts with major record labels and recording artists that include exclusive singles as well as live streams of concerts and events. Supporting local artists creates a focus on regional styles of music, which helps create a more tailored user experience.
With more machine learning, artificial intelligence, and personalization, music is getting increasingly tailored to personal users, using data such as their listening history, demographics and location for music recommendation systems. This can enable better classification and search of music and tunes, including those which have been automatically generated by AI, allowing streaming companies to offer a more personal service, driving customer retention and giving them a competitive edge in a rapidly growing sector.
