(可點進去看看幾個歐美國家訂閱/串流與下載的比例)
日本去年音樂銷售大幅萎縮16.7%，
導致全球市場也出現3.9%的衰退。
相較之下歐洲地區13年來首度出現成長，
美國的數位銷售也見上升。
日本在已開發國家中算是異數，仍以消費CD為主，
而好用的智慧手機數位下載服務欠缺。
國際唱片業協會IFPI表示，銷售集中在少數歌手，
以及轉換數位的步履緩慢是衰退主因。
日本和南韓是唯二去年前十名銷售專輯都是自己國內歌手的國家。
排除日本的數字，全球去年音樂市場大致持平(成長0.1%)。
而整體數位銷售則成長了4.3%，
這歸功於一些訂閱型的音樂服務如 Spotify的興盛。
IFPI預估將來還會有一億人加入這些平台。
訂閱型服務去年成長超過50%，
美國市場還突破10億美元大關。
歐洲數位銷售成長13.3%，
主要五大市場英法德義荷也都見成長。
但西班牙則是持續衰退且盜版問題嚴重。
新興市場如非洲與拉丁美洲數位音樂消費成長顯著，
如祕魯去年成長高達150%。
盜版問題一如既往，仍是待解決的難題。
實體仍佔了全部銷售的一半以上。
黑膠唱片在英國去年成長兩倍，
這受到一些特殊版本如box set的發行助益。
One Direction是去年全球銷售王，
Midnight Memories這張專輯總計銷量達400萬張；
Robin Thicke的 Blurred Lines是單曲銷售冠軍，賣出了1480萬張。
Japan drags down global music market
A sharp decline in music consumption in Japan caused overall global growth to
slow down in 2013, according to figures from the International Federation of
the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
The 16.7% slump in Japanese sales caused world figures to slide by 3.9%.
But European music consumers had a buoyant year, registering their first
growth for 13 years, while digital sales in the US rose by 3.4%.
Japan largely relies on physical sales of music, which did not perform well.
The country - which is the world's second largest music market - is seen as
unique among developed nations for its reliance on CDs and the lack of
user-friendly music download services on smartphones.
A music industry which is dominated by a few major players and has failed to
make a digital transition has led to its sharp decline, according to the IFPI.
Along with South Korea, Japan is in the only country in 2013 to have a top 10
album rundown entirely made up of local artists.
Excluding Japan from the new figures, the world music market remained stable
with 0.1% growth last year.
The IFPI in its annual report said that overall digital sales went up by 4.3%
with subscription music services such as Spotify playing an important role.
The organisation said it expects 100 million people to engage with these
platforms in the next few years.
Subscription services have grown by more than 50% globally in the past year,
while the US market surpassed $1bn for the first time.
Europe's digital consumption of music went up by 13.3%, including its five
major markets - France, the UK, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
But Spain's fortunes have continued to slump and the country is seen as
having a serious piracy problem.
Some emerging markets in Africa and Latin America have seen an uptake in
digital music through initiatives to reach consumers via their mobile phones.
Peru's digital music market rocketed by almost 150% last year, for example.
But the fight against music piracy and illegal downloads is one that has yet
to be solved, the IFPI has admitted.
They said the power of copyright will continue to be enforced against those
who continue to argue that regulations stifle innovation.
Physical music formats have held their own, still accounting for more than
half of all music sales around the world in 2013.
Consumption of vinyl records in the UK doubled in the past year, while de
luxe formats such as box sets have bolstered the traditional market.
The IFPI's annual round-up confirmed that One Direction topped their global
recording artist chart for the second year running, and also had the
best-selling global album.
Their release Midnight Memories sold four million copies worldwide.
Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines topped their best-selling single rundown,
shifting 14.8m copies.
