The number of paid music streaming subscribers worldwide has nearly doubled to 112 million within the last 12 months.

 

 

“We are working now on accelerating the monetization of music on digital services in all geographies, especially in tough markets,” de Puyfontaine told investors after releasing Vivendi second quarter results and breaking down Universal Music Group’s growth over the last two years.

 

The number of subscribers a year ago was 68m. Universal, in the last year has seen a 26.2% rise in India, 20.3% in China and 12% in Latin America.

Why does this number seem so low to me

Yeah it definitely could be better. I mean, it's doubled and only getting bigger but I think the main problem is that some people are just not willing to pay for something that isn't tangible. I was one of those people for so long but finally just got with the times and got a Spotify subscription. I still buy music though because I ain't wasting data/downloading songs to my phone that I don't own. I like Spotify because it helps me discover more new music that I probably wouldn't have without it. It's algorithms are great.
