IFPI data shows a global revenue growth of 9.7% with a 32.9% increase in paid streaming revenues and 34% of growth in overall streaming revenue. These figures look quite different from the \"value gap\" the music industry is allegedly experiencing. The efficiency gains of the digitisation of music result in increased consumer welfare and revenues for record labels \u2014 a textbook illustration of a healthy, competitive market. The values in this chart are presented with approximation, as the original report does not provide the figures."}
