London, 1 October 2003
World sales of recorded music fell by 10.9% in value and by 10.7% in units in the
first half of 2003. Unauthorised file-sharing and commercial piracy were major
factors in the decline. At the same time DVD music sales grew sharply and a there
was a marked increase in the availability of legitimate online music, with 300,000
tracks now on offer online.
Interim sales of all audio and music video formats were worth $US 12.7 billion,
compared to $US 14.2 billion in the same period of 2002. Within this figure DVD
music video showed substantial growth in both units (up 46%) and value (up 55%), and
now represents more than 5% of global music sales.
The figures were published today by IFPI, the organisation representing the record
industry worldwide. IFPI comprises a membership of more than 1500 record companies,
including independents and majors, in over 70 countries.
