New IFPI BrochureAustria’s Music Market Continues to Grow
The domestic music market continues to grow and provides the latest figures, trends, and insights into an industry that, despite economic challenges, is impressively demonstrating its capacity for innovation.
The new IFPI music market brochure offers an up-to-date and in-depth look at the development of the Austrian music industry and clearly illustrates how dynamically the sector is evolving amid the interplay of digitization and new technologies. For the year 2025, the report projects total revenue of 270.4 million euros, representing a 6.5% increase over the previous year—even amid a comparatively weak overall economic environment. This once again underscores the music market’s innovative strength and economic relevance within the creative industries.
In addition to key market figures, the brochure also highlights current trends and developments: Streaming remains the strongest driver of growth and has surpassed the 200-million-euro mark for the first time, while vinyl maintains its stable position and continues to replace the CD. At the same time, the report covers a wide range of topics—from national charts and successful productions to funding structures and international market trends—and addresses developments such as AI that will significantly shape the future of the music industry.
