Germany’s annual recorded music revenues via BVMI (2015-2024)

Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) in Germany issues annual results showing the country’s recorded music revenues in the previous calendar year.

Below you can see a data visualization of how this figure has changed in recent years, with the growth of the digital music industry and the decline of the physical music industry.

Please note: BVMI’s figures are retail rather than wholesale, reflecting consumer spend on music including VAT.
