AIM comment on growth of independent music sector to nearly 27% of UK market

13 April 2022 - Press release

”This year-on-year growth in independent music’s market share demonstrates the independent sector’s continued success in developing the UK’s most exciting musical talent as well as its creativity, agility and hard work releasing groundbreaking music during COVID. 

“However, with payout timelines increasingly extending over an artist’s career as streaming comes to dominate music consumption, the risks for those who sign talent at an early stage are also increasing. The sector urgently needs investment if it is to continue its role in releasing exciting and diverse music.” - Gee Davy, COO of AIM
