A new report by StockApps has projected that music streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music among others will generate up to $26.61 billion in 2022.

” …the music streaming industry is expected to earn $26.61 billion this year. In 2021, the annual revenue stood at $23.29. Thus, the yearly revenue is set to grow by 13.83% year-on-year,” the report partly read.

The report said that the penetration rate of music streaming is estimated to be only 9.4 per cent in 2022 and is expected to grow to 12.2 per cent in 2026.
