Streaming dominates the Italian scenario, reaching 139 million for an overall growth of 16%, with the subscription segment alone marking +18.2%. Revenues from the ad-supported audio range also rose, up by 22.9%, while there was a slight decrease for revenues from video streaming equal to -0.5%.
Overall, digital today represents 84% of the market, in line with the results of 2022.
Positive sign is registered also for the physical sector, which covers a market share of 16% and which closes the semester at +9.4%: the vinyl segment dominates, growing by 14.3% and with a trend reversal for the CD also up by 5.3%.
The impact of the Italian 18app Culture Bonus, which at the end of June had generated over 8 million euros, should be noted - especially for this segment.
The first half of the year also confirms the dominance of the Italian repertoire, with the top ten Albums and Singles guided by Italian titles.
