Just Released New for 2026
The State of the Online Retail Marketplace
Report Also Features Sales Data for The Top 50 Online Music Gear Sellers

Despite challenging market conditions worldwide, most online music retailers saw revenue increases in 2025, gained market share and seriously pressured their brick-and-mortar competitors. The 50 largest online music products retailers, a group that hails from 17 countries in Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia, posted $7.0 billion in aggregate revenues, up 4.5% from last year’s $6.7 billion. These gains are the continuation of a two-decade trend that saw online retail market share surge from less than 10% to the current level of approximately 50%. Online sellers will never capture 100% of the market, but it’s far from clear when they will max out.
Over the past decade, the growth of online sales has outpaced the industry and redefined the way music products are marketed and sold. Despite the heady growth, major competitive challenges remain for online sellers. The five years of data in this report provide insights into the future of online sales, ranking of the top sellers by revenue, growth rates, and productivity.
Will the growth continue? Is the online space poised for consolidation, and who are the potential winners and losers? These are just a few of the critical issues addressed in this unique report: How have online retailers redefined how music products are sold? In this report on the state of e-commerce in the music industry, we provide a list of the world’s top 50 music retailing websites ranked by dollar volume.
