#3 In EuropeOnline streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Spotify are driving a transition in the home entertainment market; consumers are increasingly shifting away from physical discs like CDs and DVDs to digital formats, hitting music and video record retailers’ sales. Streaming services’ subscription model offers customers access to an extensive content library at a low cost, making DVD purchases less appealing, especially as people often only watch things once. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry notes that Sweden, the UK and Germany lead the way in paid audio subscriptions, posing a significant challenge to audio record retailers.
