Consumer Behavior


Why Study Consumer Behavior (CB) within the Music Industry?

From a marketing perspective, the Music industry represents one of the most exciting  and challenging industries to research on: Listeners all over the world are highly passionate for their favorite genre and artists, music is listened to daily in high amounts.

However, due to the digitization of music records brought by the Internet, listeners are no longer willing to pay for music as in the past decades. Thus musicians and record labels face a huge challenge of creating new streams of revenues. Moreover, due to the development of new mobile devices the consumption of music has also changed.

Thus, in face of all such recent changes, understanding the behavior and perceptions of listeners is pivotal for the industry. Here at MusicStats.org we are highly excited with the prospects of researching and addressing many of these issues in the near future!
