Streaming “sustains” the Spanish market; The vinyl resists

Promusicae has published its report with the music figures recorded in Spain in the first half of 2025. The industry continues to rise, mainly thanks to digital streaming consumption. At the same time, vinyls are not only the best -selling physical format, but their consumption continues to grow considerably.

In this way, the total Spanish record industry records a 10.4% growth in the first half of the year. In this sense, digital consumption contributes 89.3% of the total income of the industry and continues to present a positive evolution compared to last year, with a 9.9% rise.

Streaming remains the star of this modality, representing 99.2% of total digital consumption. 88.6% of the total value of the industry, which would be equivalent to 144.2 million euros, comes from streaming, which also grows 10.2% compared to the first semester of 2024.

Antonio Guisasola, president of Promusicae, has assured that streaming is the main form of consumption today and that “supports the record market.” Likewise, the public continues to forget the vinyl, which surprise one more year with a sales growth of 25.6% compared to last year.

In fact, vinyl is the only physical format that does not fall in sales, unlike CD (-3.2%) and other formats (-34.9%). Even so, the physical market has obtained positive results and a 14.8% rise is recorded compared to the same period in 2024. Of the total sales in this market, vinyl represents 68.8%.
