Strategic Analysis
In spite of the problems, large parts of the music industry are buzzing with
energy and excitement. So much so, that industry professionals are right to
fear a repeat of the late 1990's when a heady, euphoric journey ended in a
car crash.
We can see new developments across the whole music landscape: from talent
sourcing, music marketing and product formatting to music distribution,
retail and consumption. Indeed, such is the pace of market innovation that
it is sometimes hard to keep up.
This report takes a cold, hard look at the latest market developments and
assesses them using the lessons of the 1990's in order to identify the
genuine, serious developments that suggest long-term, permanent trends.
The report describes the structure and operation of the traditional music
industry by identifying the key components of the value chain and then
explaining the content generation, promotion and retail aspects of the
business.
Next, we outline the most important market developments that have occurred
over the last two years. This covers all corners of the industry including
content creation, talent marketing, music marketing, e-labels, digital
distribution, retail, replay devices and consumption environments. This
section of the report also includes the consumer arena, where substantial
behavioural changes are taking place.
By analysing the relationship between these actual market trends, their
theoretical basis and the underlying business rationale, the report then
defines a framework for the structure and form of the new, emerging music
industry.
Radically different to the old, linear model, the report then questions just
how sustainable this new model is by identifying its vulnerabilities and
describing the corrective actions that need be taken by the industry.
Finally, by selecting a few topical areas, the report concludes by outlining
some new business opportunities which are suggested by the new
digitally-based industry structure.
