The music instrument (MI) retail industry is at a crossroads, and the time to adapt is NOW. Between 2020 and 2024, the MI industry experienced a surge during COVID, only to return to 2020 levels by 2024—resulting in zero net growth over the last four years. Meanwhile, there’s been a silent but powerful revolution taking place: Music Software.

A Revolution in Music Software
From 2020 to 2024, Music Software sales in MI Retail have soared by 35%, demonstrating resilience and promise, even as the broader MI industry returned to 2020 levels with zero net growth. And the momentum doesn't stop here—software sales are projected to grow another 3% in 2025, making it one of the brightest stars in the MI universe.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities
The global landscape is shifting. With 60% of musical instruments sourced from China and the impact of 104% U.S. tariffs, the MI industry faces potential headwinds in 2025, with declining sales looming on the horizon. But here lies a remarkable opportunity: the world of Music Software offers a lifeline, a future-proof growth stream that every retailer can—and should—tap into.
