This can be attributed to the increase in demand for in-app purchases and the dependence of global digital lifestyles on adopting mobile apps.
Key Highlights
Global demand for offline music tracks is expanding quickly, supporting industry expansion. These applications primarily offer a sleep timer, widgets, a lock screen feature, folder browsing, and an efficient search methodology. The market would expand due to the rising need for alert technologies that recognize lyrics worldwide.
The market’s growth is driven by increased smartphone users worldwide and technical advancements in smartphones. Additionally, increased data consumption, internet penetration worldwide, and a surge in the use of various promotional methods and offers like discounts on subscriptions fuel market expansion.
Overcoming habitual behavior and developing an offer that might cut down on the costs of transferring from one application to another are the major challenges that many music application companies confront when attempting to win over customers from rivals. Switching charges are a genuine headache, but there are ways to get around them.
The key company’s primary goal is to offer carefully produced playlists for music apps. The main market players provide a user-friendly music app with a classy appearance. The major players include easy-to-use search functionality, MP3 device support, and personalized music libraries. With the aid of android- and iOS-based platforms, the key players offer a compatible analytical technique for the music app.
It was during the global lockdown that music apps experienced a significant increase because of improved in-app purchasing services and the quick movement of users to cloud storage-based apps. Due to the increased demand for podcast management app services during the pandemic, the market grew in popularity. Countries across North America and Asia have witnessed an uptick in the number of users since the pandemic days.
Music App Market Trends
Rising Demand for In-App Purchases
The global smartphone user base of over 6.3 billion makes the booming mobile app market unsurprising. It shows no signs of slowing down soon since app usage and smartphone penetration are still expanding steadily.
Mobile applications have profoundly altered our daily lives. Numerous adaptable programs, including Spotify, Pandora, and others, are finding a place in our daily lives. Music enthusiasts can now quickly access the app because data is readily available and affordable. Users of the app can listen to music wherever and whenever they want. Over the past decade, millions of customers have used reputable on-demand music streaming apps.
The music app market is expanding owing to the effortless in-app purchasing services and the quick conversion of users to cloud storage-based apps have significantly increased the popularity of music apps. Due to the increased demand for podcast management software services, the market grew throughout the pandemic. Notably, the various discounts and offers the music application key players provide to its customers as a way of value addition are driving the demand for in-app purchases worldwide.
Spotify, undoubtedly the most well-known music streaming service, is a major player in the sector, with more than 406 million subscribers and access to 80 million songs from practically any artist anyone can imagine. With the opportunity to make custom playlists, the mobile app offers the same functionality as its desktop counterpart, allowing you to stream individual songs or full albums.
In September last year, Spotify was the top downloaded music app for iPhone in the Apple App Store. Users of iPhones downloaded 3.28 million times from the music streaming service. With almost 1.1 million downloads from consumers worldwide, YouTube Music was the second-most downloaded music app.
Music Apps in High Demand in North America
North America has had a significant market share in the past few years. Also, the growth is expected to continue in the forecast period. This growth is attributable to increased consumer demand in the United States and Canada for online songs and playlists of different genres that are rapidly growing across the region.
The United States is said to be the technological hub of the world. The country makes a consistent effort to rapidly develop the newest technology and applications, with continuous innovation and the extending trend of utilizing technologically sophisticated apps that can make a long-term impact.
The existence of major market participants like Apple, Inc., Inc., Google LLC, and Pandora Media, Inc. are crucial drivers supporting this region’s industry. Notably, the companies are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to track the changing choice and provide them to the clients. The regular infusion of emerging technologies and the rising need for specified preset features in music apps are expected to increase demand.
The North American region has significant internet coverage and is quickly expanding. Furthermore, as of August last year, Americans received 167 Mbps of download speed and 22 Mbps of upload speed on their fixed broadband connections, placing them sixth in the world for median fixed broadband speeds, according to Ookla’s Speedtest.net. Also, the region is very rapidly witnessing the roll out of 5G plans. These factors contribute very highly to the growth of the market.
Notably, as of 2021, there were 298 million smartphone users in the United States, making it one of the largest smartphone markets in the world. Over the previous few years, the smartphone penetration rate in the United States has steadily increased, reaching 85% in February 2021, in line with the general expansion of the smartphone market globally. The strong penetration of smartphones in the market is also expanding the demand growth for music apps.
Music App Industry Overview
The Music App Market is moderately fragmented as it currently consists of several large market players. Many key players in the market are in constant efforts to bring advancements. A few prominent companies are entering into collaborations and expanding their global footprints in developing regions to consolidate their positions in the market. The major player in this market includes Spotify AB, Genetec Inc, Apple Inc, Google LLC, Pandora, and others.
In November 2022, Pandora and SiriusXM introduced an artist acceleration program. The initiative promises “targeted programming for a prolonged campaign across SiriusXM channels and Pandora stations, as well as different ongoing marketing support from both businesses”. It will concentrate on 6–12 artists per year. The first selection is Coco Jones, a Def Jam Recordings-signed R&B performer, actor, and TikTok celebrity.
In September 2022, Apple announced that it was preparing to release a standalone classical music app along with its popular Apple Music app. The solo classical music app will be included in the upcoming iOS 16 release. Since then, Apple has not commented on the plans in the media; thus, it is unknown if the app will be published in the current year.

For companies, it requires not only solving scientific problems but also understanding AI technology and respecting the complexity of the healthcare industry.” At the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, Ms. Gong Rujing (Yingying), Chairwoman and Founder of Yidu Tech, was invited as a distinguished representative of the healthcare technology sector. She shared her unique insights into the future of AI in healthcare during the thematic dialogue on “Healthcare Analytics, Not Moving Fast Enough.”
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Yidu Tech and Ms. Gong Rujing’s decade-long dedication to the healthcare industry. From the inception of her entrepreneurial journey 10 years ago, she has been driven by the mission to leverage the power of technology to deliver precise healthcare to every individual.
Ms. Gong described the past decade as a journey filled with miracles and achievements. During this period, Yidu Tech has progressively established close collaborations with key stakeholders in the healthcare industry, including government agencies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, experts, and clinicians. As of March 31, 2024, Yidu Tech’s “AI Medical Brain” YiduCore has been authorized to process and analyze over 5 billion medical records, covering more than 2,500 hospitals.

“We are now entering a new era of AI technology.” The development of large language model technologies has opened up new possibilities across various industries. Yidu Tech has independently developed a large language model specific to the medical field and is advancing its application across the entire healthcare industry chain. The goal is to promote further progress and innovation through new AI technologies. However, Ms. Gong also emphasized that the healthcare industry is professional, complex, and sensitive, and the application of new technologies must address challenges such as data security, privacy protection, and ethics.
“Data security and privacy protection are fundamental to the development of AI technology and medical big data technology. We must ensure that all stakeholders are satisfied with compliance, security, accessibility, and privacy protection.”
“AI technology still has a long way to go.” She called on policymakers, healthcare institutions, and technology companies to work together to realize the immense potential of healthcare data. Ms. Gong highlighted that building trust is key, and enhancing data operability is essential to fully unleash the power of data. “It’s not just about better data quality; it’s about a better future for health.”
