While the growth rate was slower than in 2023, the most significant takeaway wasn\u2019t purely financial. <em>\u201cCulture leads, data follows\u201d<\/em> was one of the most echoed phrases during the summit\u2019s sessions. Electronic music continues to gain ground, not just as an economic driver, but as a cross-cultural force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1420\"><em>\u201cThe IMS Business Report continues to evolve each year, with stronger data and the benefit of over a decade of tracking, allowing us to truly compare and contrast the state of the electronic music industry. This year\u2019s annual health check reflects ongoing growth and key developments: Superstruct\u2019s acquisitions reshaping live music, a surge in core genres like Afro House and Drum &amp; Bass, continued catalog acquisitions, and unprecedented engagement with the genre on cultural platforms like TikTok,\u201d<\/em> said <strong>Ben Turner<\/strong>, IMS co-founder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1748\">For the fifth year in a row, independent labels increased their market share, now accounting for 30% of global label revenues. While major labels remain dominant, regional and digitally native players from the Global South are gaining ground, carving out space with localized scenes and culturally tailored content strategies.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>New Genres, New Generations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The rise of genres like <strong>Afro House<\/strong> and the resurgence of styles such as <strong>Drum &amp; Bass, Jungle, and UK Garage<\/strong> are reshaping the global sonic landscape. According to <strong>Beatport data<\/strong>, <strong>Afro House<\/strong> <strong>has jumped from the 23rd to the 4th<\/strong> most searched genre, while <strong>SoundCloud<\/strong> has reported a <strong>100% increase in UK Garage uploads.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With <strong>566 million<\/strong> new electronic music fans across <strong>Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook<\/strong> in 2024, electronic music continues to outpace rivals like rock and indie.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"28\"><strong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"28\">Ibiza: Always at the Top<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"30\" data-end=\"375\">The island remains at the heart of the electronic music world\u2014not just as a party destination, but as a cultural beacon. In 2024 alone, <strong>club ticket revenues reached \u20ac150 million<\/strong>. This marks a <strong>6% increase for the Balearic island<\/strong>, despite a drop in the number of events, driven by higher ticket prices and sustained demand for premium experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"773\">During <strong>IMS,<\/strong> the role of women shaping the local scene also took center stage.

A conversation between the managers of<strong> Fatboy Slim<\/strong> and <strong>Black Coffee<\/strong> provided a compelling generational contrast\u2014highlighting how today&#8217;s industry is managed, and how veterans and newcomers alike can learn from each other while adapting to change without losing artistic vision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1686\">AI\u2019s role in music creation continues to expand, and 2024 proved to be a pivotal year for generative music tech.
