, roughly
20.1%
of music fans listen to and buy pop music albums. Considering that the US is the biggest market for music production and consumption, with over
40%
of the market share, we can assume that the % of pop consumers remains relatively the same for the rest of the world.
As such, we can estimate that the revenue generated from pop music consumption is roughly $3.84 billion ($19.1 billion * 0.201).
Pop music consumers are relatively young as over
50%
of the people aged between 16 and 34 consume pop music.
