• Changing Music Consumption Patterns
Music success is now driven by platform engagement and algorithms, rather than long-term listening cycles. According to the Duetti's report "Viral Trends rarely turns Into Long-Term Streaming Income" Of over 6 million proprietary songs, only 1.14% of the tracks went viral, out of those, just 0.11% maintained that momentum for more than six months, which indicates that while virality can generate short-term boosts in streams and visibility, it rarely translates into sustained revenue growth. The increasing saturation of content across digital platforms and increased competition may impact the discoverability, audience reach, and monetisation potential of quality content.
• Low Average Revenue Per User
The music streaming market in India faces monetization difficulties due to its very low Average Revenue Per User. Deep subscription discounts and ad-supported freemium tiers limit revenue generation despite a large and growing user base.
OPPORTUNITIES• Rise of Smartphones and Music Platforms
In today's digital world, smartphones and music are closely intertwined. Music has found a new home on platforms like Reels, YouTube Shorts which discover more audiences particularly younger audiences on such platforms. As per the FICCI-EY M&E, 2026, 40% of India's population uses smartphones. In 2025, Indians spent around 1.23 trillion hours on their phones, an increasing a 9% over 2024. Indians consumed 59% of their phone time on media and entertainment including social media. Accelerated 5G deployment has further increased smartphone adoption penetration. Smartphone penetration is expected to grow to 670 million by 2028. India is fundamentally a mobile-first market, where the mobile phone has become the primary screen followed by television as the secondary one.
• Music Streaming Growth
As per the FICCI-EY M&E Report, 2026, Music streaming reached approximately 178 million active users. Excluding social platforms, stream count increased 14.7% in 2025. Audio subscription revenue grew 48% in 2025 to INR 10 billion on the back of significant industry efforts to grow paid subscribers. In FY2025, Spotify India achieved profitability, primarily due to an 88% surge in subscription revenue, supported by the introduction of new subscription tiers and the rollout of lossless streaming in the market. JioSaavn crossed 500 million downloads on the Google Play Store, marking a significant milestone for the India-based music streaming app. The average monthly streams per paid streamer were over 1,100 and paid digital streams stood at approximately 13.6 billion per month, reflecting strong user engagement and monetization growth.
OUTLOOK
Music is part of the broader content industry that comprises news, television serials, films, and music. Each of these sub-segments has their own economic attributes and appropriate monetization methods. Many factors determine the value of content. Content that can be monetized multiple times naturally commands greater economic value. Music ranks at the top of the content pyramid when ranked on repeated monetization.
Based on the FICCI-EY M&E Report 2026, the Indian music segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% and reach INR 75 billion by 2028 driven by the expansion of smartphone penetration, growth in the SVOD base, music concerts and live events, rising social media consumption, as well as increased international consumption of Indian music.
For the first time in 2025, India's paid music streaming market crossed INR 10.3 billion in subscription revenue.The number of paid subscribers is expected to grow between 28 and 30 mill ion by 2028, driven by affordable subscription plans, telco bundling, eliminating free features, improved payment ecosystems.
The India music streaming market is witnessing a significant surge in demand for regional and vernacular music content as platforms expand their catalogues to cater to linguistically diverse audiences. According to IMARC Group - India Music Streaming Market Report, in 2025, Gaana's mid-year report highlighted that listeners in India's metros and tier-2 cities were increasingly tuning into diverse linguistic and musical styles, with regional artists from Maharashtra, Haryana,
Tamil Nadu, and Bihar topping charts and reshaping national listening habits. As per the FICCI-EY M&E Report 2026, regional language content accounting for 56% of the total content produced for digital platforms, compared to Hindi. This production trend is mirrored in consumption patterns as well, with regional music continuing to see strong demand in 2025. Hindi music dominates with 59% of total usage, followed by Punjabi as the second-largest segment.
At the heart of India's M&E growth story is its massive millennial and Gen Z population. This digitally native audience is not only consuming more content but also demanding diverse, immersive, and personalised experiences. Gen Z and millennials are seeking an "experience-first" lifestyle. Their appetite for storytelling, music, gaming, and live events is pushing the boundaries of traditional formats and encouraging innovation across platforms.
