• 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"
