../ MusicTrends: Mobile Music Sales
According to a report published by 3, the UK mobile media
company, if mobile sales continue to grow at the same pace they could rival, and eventually overtake, computer-based downloads
in just five years.
Sony's Walkman Phones Are A Popular Choice For UK Music Lovers
The mobile phone is set to become the retail channel of the future
for music fans in the UK, according to the report which was conducted by youth
communications specialist agency, Dubit. The report investigates how the UK's young people are using new technology to revolutionize
the way they access and listen to music and reveals some startling results for the music industry:
- Six out of 10 under-24-year-olds have purchased music via a mobile
- Music purchased on mobile is the fastest growing music format, up 100 percent on 2005
- The compact disc will die out within five years say 60 percent of under 24's
- Mobile could overtake computer based music purchases within 5 years
- Paying for music via mobile bill preferred to cash or credit cards by 50 percent of under 21's
- Downtime is becoming the new commerce space for music retailing
- Two thirds say they buy on public transport
- Half say they're interested in buying new tracks on the way home from a club
- Downloading has environmental benefits according to 85 percent under 24's
More than 60 percent of under 24's say they have downloaded music on a
mobile because they don't want to wait until they visit their local record shop to buy a new song. 3's own sales data show that
the most popular time of day for purchasing music is between 6pm and 11pm, when most traditional music shops are closed.
The Future: It's no surprise that 3G bandwidth and large catalogs of current music are attractive
to UK mobile music lovers. However, if mobile music is going to overtake computer-based downloads, then the price per song must be reduced.
