The Future Of The Music Business

With some research, experience and knowledge, here are my predictions for the music business in the next year or so.

Huge boost in subscription levels - musicians will experience a greater boost in YouTube channel subscriptions with the emergence of new music economies (particularly in Brazil and India). This also applies to Spotify subscriptions.

Greater mobile device usage - With the globalisation of smartphones, there will a greater percentage of music, including mobile music streaming, with many people paying music through their mobile devices.

Increase in live ticket and album packages - There will be a greater number of bands selling both live tickets for gigs and albums in a single package. This model has worked very well in Latin America and is sure to catch on in the rest of the world, if not already.

So that's a small glimpse into the future. Hopefully these changes will add to the wealth of markets available to musicians and fans alike.
