Music Publishing Market Overview
Music publishing plays a critical role in the global entertainment ecosystem by managing the acquisition, administration, protection, and monetization of musical compositions. Publishers license compositions on behalf of songwriters and composers and ensure royalty payments from various revenue streams, including:
Performance Royalties
Digital Royalties
Synchronization Royalties
Mechanical Royalties
Other Licensing Revenues
Through publishing agreements, songwriters assign copyright ownership to publishers, who in turn manage rights enforcement, licensing negotiations, and royalty collections across global platforms.
Market Dynamics: Digital Transformation Driving Growth
The global music industry has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past decade. While physical music sales have declined, the rise of streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora has reshaped music consumption patterns.
Key growth drivers include:
Rapid expansion of global streaming subscriptions
Rising number of independent artists and creators
Growing demand for copyright management and personalized publishing services
Strong shift of media consumption toward digital and mobile platforms
Music publishers are increasingly essential as artists seek professional support to manage copyrights, licensing, contracts, and global distribution.
Emerging Licensing Opportunities Fuel Market Expansion
New-age platforms are unlocking fresh revenue streams for music IP owners. Licensing opportunities across short-form video platforms (TikTok, Triller), social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram), and digital fitness platforms (Peloton) are transforming the market landscape.
In July 2021, the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA) signed a landmark licensing agreement with TikTok, which now boasts over 700 million monthly active users globally. Similar agreements with Facebook and Peloton have further strengthened monetization prospects.
These developments are expected to significantly boost music publishing revenues throughout the forecast period.
Streaming Continues to Strengthen the Music Publishing Market
Although audio streaming briefly declined during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumption rebounded rapidly. By mid-2023, streaming engagement had surpassed pre-pandemic levels.
Paid streaming subscribers increased by 27% YoY
Monthly active users grew by 29% YoY
Spotify subscription revenue rose by 17% in Q2 2023
This sustained growth continues to drive royalty income for publishers, particularly from performance and digital rights.
