  • Spotify India – Game Or Late to the Streaming Party?
    SPOTIFY INDIA – GAME OR LATE TO THE STREAMING PARTY? INTRODUCTION Everything comes at a price. Even the music that we are hooked to our supposedly free music streaming apps. As users we pay in terms of our time and for every 30 minutes that we listen to Spotify, the company makes $0.03 in ad revenues [1]. The average Indian user listens to 21.5 hours of music per week generating $1.29 per week per user in India. Out of $1.29, Spotify pays 70% of its revenue stream to the music producers which is approximately a dollar per subscriber. Spotify Technology, the Swedish audio streaming major currently holds the largest market share in the global music streaming space (36%) [2] and reported 248 Mn total Monthly Active Users (MAU) out of which, 113 Mn are Premium Users and 141 Mn are Ad-supported (Free) users in its Q3 press release. [3] The company enables on-demand streaming of audio content and aims to combat music piracy by monetizing licensed content with an ad-supported, free-to-the-user model and a premium, paid model. Fueled by the Over The Top (OTT) services boom in India, Spotify finally entered the Indian market in February 2019 with the launch of its successful marketing campaign “There’s a Playlist for that” amassing one million subscribers within a month of its launch. The Indian music streaming industry has a total subscriber base of 137 Mn that is expected to grow to 273 Mn by end of 2020 underlining the potential growth opportunities for Spotify.
