Amazon Music continues to expand reach across the global market including France, Italy, Spain and India with podcasts as well as localized offerings. It provides access to more than 60 million songs with premium subscription service, Amazon Music Unlimited.
Apart from the recent launch, the company announced that Amazon Music HD — its high-quality streaming tier — is available to all Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers without any additional charges.
In addition, Amazon Music launched a new shopping experience with the integration of artist merchandise within its mobile app. Customers can listen to new music, watch live streams and shop a genre-spanning selection of merchandise from artists including Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, King Princess, Lady Gaga as well as Gucci Mane.
Growing and Competitive Music Streaming Market
The music streaming industry has seen a significant rise due to increase in mobile advertisement spending, use of mobile apps, rise in the number of subscription services and users’ accessibility to local content on the music streaming platforms.
According to a report by Allied Market Research, the online music streaming industry is expected to reach $24.7 billion by 2027, progressing at a CAGR of 9.8% between 2021 and 2027.
In addition, a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com reveals that the global music streaming market is expected to hit $7.5 billion by 2025, witnessing a CAGR of 19% during the forecast period of 2021-2025.
Thus, the latest move by Amazon Music bodes well to strengthen its presence in the booming music streaming market backed by the abovementioned factors.
Further, Amazon’s presence has intensified competition in the music streaming market against other players including Apple Music (AAPL - Free Report) , Spotify (SPOT - Free Report) and Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report) Google-owned YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz as well as Pandora Premium.
