Physical sales, in the whole world, still represent 51% of the market. That is, the mass still is not digital. But it all indicates that they will be and there is no return. This means a great opportunity; after all, the market share on the internet will grow a lot. So this is the right time for you to give your all in the digital world.
The transition of a market of hits to the famous Long Tail, that is, the taste for smaller, unknown bands, piracy and all the changes caused in the digital market are leading distributors to a solution that generates lower profit margins for artists.
But this is not the end. This doesn't mean that the artist should win only with concerts. Profit margins for each job are small, but the cost of replication and distribution are almost nil, which favors the plurality. On the internet, more is more.
I really discovered something incredible and I want to share with you. The digital music market hides a great source of income: the gain scale. You only have to learn how to play the game. Get it now.
Understand the new dynamics
Nowadays, digital distribution ensures space for small bands. But it also offers greatly reduced profit margins for the entire industry. And those margins are the result of the market itself, which now compete with piracy and lives with many offers of new artists. Piracy did not end the market. It is less intense in the higher classes and functions, nowadays, more as a price cap. If the amount charged for what is offered is too expensive, people end up seeing piracy as a good way out. But when the price falls and the delivered value increases, piracy drops along. The abundance of new artists is another factor that contributes to the reduction of profit margins. The reason is simple: money handled by the market is now distributed in more parts. In other words, in a fragmented market, the cake is distributed among more guests. The big stars and big hits were replaced by a group of micro-stars and micro-hits.

It may sound strange, but the music industry is still physical.
The physical channel still represents the largest share of the music market in the world, approximately 51%, while digital is 39%.The performances represent 7% and the synchronizations 2%, according to data published on the IFPI's (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) website in 2014.Yes, sales of CDs and DVDs are even greater than the collected in downloads and streaming. But physical sales are falling down and tend to decrease even further.
Streaming services are the future.
Think about it, the model that will be the big star of the future currently has only 27% of the digital market, which has not even passed the physical. That is, a massive amount of money and investment haven’t joined this new dynamic, but they will. Then this is the right to enter at full force on the digital universe, even without a satisfactory return at the time. Don’t be discouraged by the low numbers. You need to anticipate reaping the returns you want in the near future.
