Brazil’s large, youthful population has fully embraced streaming. It is now the country’s top consumption format and the source of 82% of its recorded music revenue. This is helping Brazilians’ strong connection to music reach across borders, with the Brazilian funk genre and artists like Anitta becoming global sensations. As a result, international players have their eyes on Brazil not just as an import market, but also a target for investment. Meanwhile, infrastructural challenges to the domestic music business are lessening. Using MIDiA Q2 2024 consumer data, streaming service market shares, and current and forecasted recorded music revenue, this report presents a snapshot of Brazil’s current and future music industry — an essential guide for any music company looking to invest, market, or launch in the region.
