The digital music business in recent years has been increasing markedly due to the evolution of new business horizons and including iTunes is that during the year 2011 saw the greatest increase in the market, as well as great results were also obtained from Spotify and Deezer.
According to what is detected by the various companies for analysis and the latest report of IFPI (International Federation of Phonographic Industry), the music industry has seen great signs of recovery in recent periods and specifically the credit goes to the field of digital music online It recorded $ 6.3 billion in 2011, a figure higher than the 5.9 billion achieved in the previous year.
And there's more, since this positive momentum seems to be expected to continue for the foreseeable future and, according to forecasts, the profits of the music coming from the purchase of songs and albums from the online store, expected to reach 6.8 billion share in 2012 and 7.7 billion by the end of 2015.
It is now a fact then that the music industry to have been aware of such developments and changes, so much to see in the new online services throbbing essence of the economy, while the Compact Disc continue to be in decline, with an index of -8.7% compared to previous surveys.
All these data are intuitively perceive as the online music store will affect the entire industry and as well untie more users from the purchase of compact disc and from any kind of physical media, because the music is becoming more and more "liquid" and then easily within reach, and especially portable anywhere, thanks to digital download services and multimedia streaming (true deceivers of the music market).
The only sore point, in the midst of these strong positive signals, again as far as the music industry, still remains the problem of the piracy, the greatest obstacle to be overcome in order to continue the development of the sector itself. Downloading copyrighted music from illegal platforms is, in fact, still very high so that, according to the IFPI, more than one out of four (28% of Internet users) continues to illegally download pirated music.
