CONTENT & DISTRIBUTION
Goldman Sachs’ 2025 Music in the Air report projects global music revenues growing from approximately $100B today to more than $200B by 2030, driven by continued expansion in recorded music, publishing, live entertainment, streaming adoption, emerging markets, and AI-enabled efficiencies. Amplify examines what this growth trajectory means for investors today — and how portfolios can be positioned to participate in the next phases of industry expansion.
STREAMING
While growth in the US market is moderating, music streaming continues to scale globally, with revenues projected to nearly double by 2030. Growth is fueled by paid subscription expansion in emerging markets, evolving audio formats including podcasts and AI-generated content, and stronger artist protections and IP guardrails. Sessions explore how these dynamics are reshaping value creation and competitive advantage across the streaming ecosystem.
LIVE MUSIC
Fueled by demand for immersive experiences, global touring, festivals, and next-generation ticketing models, live music has become a rapidly expanding share of the music economy. Post-pandemic growth is projected to accelerate at a double-digit CAGR through 2030. Hear from promoters, ticketing platforms, venues, and operators driving this transformation.
AI MUSIC & TECHNOLOGY
AI is helping to redefine how music is created, discovered, monetized, and managed — encompassing areas such as production and personalization to rights administration and revenue tracking. While AI offers significant commercial opportunities, it also poses complex challenges concerning authorship, licensing, regulation, and equitable compensation. With the announcement of an increasing number of settlement deals between rights-holders and AI platforms, Amplify explores how music and technology executives and policymakers are navigating this evolving landscape and considers the implications for investors.
