Technavio market research analysts estimate the global music publishing market to grow at a modest CAGR of more than 5% by 2019. A major part of this growth will come from the digital sales segment, which is envisaged to overtake physical sales by the end of 2015.

The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the global music publishing market by product type.

“Currently, the live performance segment dominates the global market for music publishing and is closely followed by sectors like synchronization, physical sales, and digital sales. Its high market share can be attributed to factors like the increasing number of talents such as single artists and bands.
