If you missed our recent report on India and China, the writer of the Indian half has now published his piece online. In it, Ed Peto of consultancy firm Outdustry digs in to the prevailing trends of the Indian music market.

“India’s recorded music industry generated just US$0.09 per capita in trade revenues in 2016, making it the most poorly monetised music market currently being tracked,” he noted.

“An optimist would rightly point out that with a population of 1.27bn India has had more heavy lifting to do than most, and that obviously there is enormous room for growth, but even amongst the giant emerging music markets India is taking its time to emerge.”

Things are changing fast though, due to a combination of the Chinese government’s crackdown on piracy, and the emergence of a group of legal, innovative music services. At our NY:LON Connect conference today, market expert Ed Peto from Outdustry expanded on these trends to explain why “the sleeping giant” is waking up in 2017.

In our cover feature, Ed Peto of Outdustry gives us the inside track on digital music’s development in China. Huge changes are afoot in terms of how Chinese consumers will not only access music but also what music they will want to have access to. This could not only unlock the long tail but also create whole new opportunities for international artists. Rvenue reporting remains a huge stumbling block, however the changes to how video content is licensed and priced in China could serve as a template for music’s next wave of development there.
