3 Current state and forecasts of the Russian online music market According to J son & Partners Consulting the volume of Russian digital sales of music content market in 2012 was 3.1 mln.usd vs 2.55 mln.usd in This amount includes direct sales (over 65% of Russian music digital content market) plus advertising revenues and subscription model. Fig. 3. Volume of Russian online music market, F, mln USD Source: J'son & Partners Consulting Until the end of 2012 the situation on the Russian market was very complicated, due to the leave of the local market players, such as Yota Music, Fidel, Stream, etc. They refused to develop this business branch. It happened because of the very high level of piracy, secondly it is very difficult for the legal platform to clean copyrights and the policy of the largest copyright holders played its role. At the end of 2012 among the strong Russian market players who saved position was streaming-service Yandex.Music, that is not monetized directly in web-version (advertising model is being used). However in 2012 happened what everyone (users, experts, market players) have been waiting for so long: Apple launched its shop itunes in Russia. The appearance of such strong market player changed the situation drastically. In particular, copyright holders, become more enthusiastic in promoting music products via digital shop itunes rather than via small platforms with unclear future. According to J son & Partners Consulting, the year 2013 must be crucial for the Russian online digital music content distribution market. The total market volume will reach 8 mln.usd with growth rate of 158%. Such rates will lead Russian market to the unconditional and absolute leader among fast growing world markets of music industry. According to Yandex data (use of Yandex.Music service) the following market trends could be emphasized: Users prefer Russian music (more than 50% of listening): despite the fact that the local content has only 1% in catalogue. 3

4 The main platform for music listening remains - the web: proportion of listening in web and mobile versions is 95% and 5 % accordingly. Monthly number of unique visitors of Yandex.Music is around 13 million of people. After 1.5 months of Android mobile apps launch, number of listening increased more than twice The main barriers for service development are legislation in the copyright and associated property rights sphere and wide expansion of piracy content. Factors about Yandex.Music service: In the beginning the service planned as part of search service. Around 4% of user s searches were about music. The decision was made: reply to every search request with opportunity to listen the target content. Yandex.Music is a streaming service and tending to be more comfortable and to become intuitive online player for users Independent expert in music market, teacher in business school RMA ( Management in music business and entertainment industry department) Alexey Nikolaev, described the market development, its drivers and barriers: Copyright holders start to revaluate the digital market and to structure their catalogues first (about launch of itunes) Before itunes artists and lables provide the rights without thinking For any music services such moments as discovering, recommendations and artist search are crucial. Our market biggest problem is that we don t have community that will collect fees for mechanicals rights from internet platforms for downloads and streaming. Google Music will be esier as itunes standard tought lables how to work Full version of the interview can be watched on J son TV Channel on YouTube. 4
