Desktop Music Market Analysis

Software Deployment (On-Premises, Cloud)

The global desktop music market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by software deployment into on-premises, and cloud. Out of which, the cloud segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR 11.9% over the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to rising number of cloud-based music subscriptions. It was observed that, there were about 520 million paid streaming subscribers globally at the end of 2021, up from about 440 million at the end of 2020. This also applies to family plan members who are not paying their own bills. Additionally, in order to give recordists access to large libraries of audio samples, synthesizer presets, VSTs (which, in some cases, include both synthesizers and mixing tools), partially finished works, or finished works for remixing, cloud-based music production (CBMP) services use cloud computing technologies. Hence this factor is also estimated to boost the segment growth.
