The European sound recording and music publishing enterprise landscape shows France leading with a significant share, followed by Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Over the recent year, notable growth was seen in countries such as Norway and Croatia, with significant year-on-year increases. In contrast, declines were observed in Portugal, Slovakia, Malta, Cyprus, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many countries showed stable or modest growth, highlighting a diversified and partially expanding sector across Europe.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include digital transformation's impact on new enterprise creation, the role of cultural policies in fostering sector growth, and the increasing globalization of music markets, potentially driving enterprise proliferation in smaller European countries.
