Germany’s market for recorded music has crossed a major milestone: in the first six months of 2018, audio streaming (+35.2%) now also in Germany has overtaken sales of CDs to become the largest revenue segment with a market share of 47.8 percent. From the late 1980s on, CDs enjoyed an almost 30-year reign as the dominating format of music consumption; today, however, they have a market share of 34.4 percent, with sales down by 24.5 percent compared to the first half of 2017. Music downloads also continued to decline (-23.4%) and now have a market share of just 8.5 percent.
