Three percent of U.S. music apps capture nearly 90 percent of total time spent in mobile Music category
RESTON, VA., December 26, 2019 – In continued research beyond its recent 2019 "Global State of Mobile" report, Comscore (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, uncovered additional critical insights around mobile music streaming.
Comscore mobile audience insights show that:
This recent Comscore mobile research looked at how U.S. audiences engage with mobile music apps, including iHeartRadio, Pandora, Soundcloud, Apple Music, Spotify and Google Play Music; discussed how their audiences vary across mobile web and app; and examined time spent by consumers – including a look at the difference between free and paid users and their tolerance for advertising.
“The mobile music streaming market appears to be a classic ‘winner-take-all’ scenario,” said Kelly Lewis, Comscore Product Manager. “Most users are likely locked-in to one or two services, leaving little room for growth by smaller platforms beyond niche market offerings.”
