Mobile Music To Hit US$13 Billion By 2011 — Informa

Informa Telecoms & Media predicts that over US$13 billion will be generated by all forms of mobile music by 2011, with most of this still coming from ringtones. “The greatest proportion of these revenues will emanate from Asia-Pacific which accounts for 56% of the market total in 2006, with Japan making up 46% of this total in 2006. Informa stresses that a new growth market in China will start to become evident by 2011, when the region contributes 25% to overall Asia-Pacific revenues and is the next mobile music hot spot.”
The analyst also predicts that the introduction of flat-rate data charges will see larger files being downloaded, resulting in “a rise in demand for music videos that will have mobile providers looking to obtain rights for a variety of music video footage”.
