The turnover for the retail sale of music and video recordings in specialized stores in Italy is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 40.8 million euros in 2024, it decreases to 36.4 million euros by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease, illustrating an ongoing downturn in this sector. As of 2023, actual turnover may be higher, but specific data is unavailable to compare.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of increasing digital consumption and streaming services on physical sales.
Potential growth in niche markets such as vinyl and collectibles.
Innovations in retail strategies that could mitigate declines, such as experiential shopping or exclusive releases.
