However, it will not appear in the top five for subscription revenues. The same five markets are forecast to lead that ranking as in 2025:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>US<\/li>\n<li>China<\/li>\n<li>UK<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<li>Japan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Fan economy and streaming

<strong>Goldman Sachs<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018Music in the Air\u2019 report, published last year, forecast global trade recorded-music revenues of $55 billion by 2035, with retail streaming revenues
