This report presents the key figures, trends and drivers of MIDiA’s music forecast model. The figures presented in this report are both retail and label trade values and are in billions of US dollars unless otherwise stated. An Excel file posted alongside this report provides complete country level data, including DSP market shares and a detailed methodology statement.

MIDiA’s label trade figures differ from the IFPI’s figures, due to MIDiA capturing additional independent artist and independent label revenue that the IFPI does not, as well as the master recording side of music production libraries.
