The pre-recorded/recorded streaming type holds the largest market share in the live entertainment market in 2024.
The dominance is driven by increased consumer preference for flexible, on-demand content accessible across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. Content creators and organizers benefit from scalable monetization models, including subscriptions, advertising, and pay-per-view. The segment’s low operational costs and global reach further cement its leadership. The live ticket sales segment follows as the second largest, propelled by strong consumer turnout for in-person events post-pandemic recovery.
Music concerts are projected to be the fastest-growing application segment in the live entertainment market during 2025–2030.
The growth is fueled by the rising demand for immersive, communal experiences and the resurgence of large-scale festivals and international tours. Technological innovations such as AR-enhanced shows and hybrid concert formats have also broadened audience access and engagement. The segment is further supported by increased artist-led initiatives and brand sponsorships targeting the youth demographic. As artists and organizers increasingly prioritize direct fan interaction and experiential content, the music concert segment is poised for rapid expansion through 2030.
China is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the live entertainment market during the forecast period.
Music concerts are the fastest-growing segment in China’s live entertainment market, powered by a strong post-pandemic rebound in attendance—concerts with over 10,000 people rose by 84.4% in 2024—and a surge in festival tourism, especially among 18–30-year-olds, who travel across cities for immersive experiences. Government support—through subsidies, streamlined approvals, and venue incentives—is boosting large-scale events in cities like Shanghai, Sichuan, and Haikou. Moreover, the integration of AR, hybrid streaming, and festival innovations has expanded reach and engagement, while concert-driven tourism generates substantial economic spillover in accommodation, dining, and retail.
Major companies operating in the global live entertainment market include Live Nation Entertainment (US), AEG (US), CTS Eventim (Germany), HYBE Corporation (South Korea), SM Entertainment (South Korea), MSG Entertainment (US), and TEG (Australia).
