The graph illustrates various trends in the
buying habits concerning music which is
measured in percentage between the years
2011 and 2018. It presents three different
methods (streaming, downloading and buying
CDs).
Overall, both downloads and physical sales of music
had steadily declined. The latter depicts a falling
trend after 2011, while the downturn for the former
began in 2014. However, there has been a sharp
rise/upsurge in people streaming music since 2013.
In 2011, the majority of music sales were of CDs, at
55% of all sales. In contrast, streaming was not
common at all at only 5%. Also, although people had
started to download music, it only represented 35%
of sales. As sales of CDs began to fall, downloads
started to rise. They rose steadily and downloads
overtook physical sales in mid-2013. During the same
period, streaming doubled to 10% but then it started
to grow more dramatically.
Downloads peaked in 2014 at about 43% of sales
but fell to 30% by 2018. This was slightly higher than
physical sales, which shrank to 25%. Streaming, on
the other hand, overtook both of them and
accounted for just over 40% of sales in 2018.
