N r Spotify grundades f r 20 r sedan dominerades musikmarknaden av illegal nedladdning. Sedan dess har streaming bidragit till att teruppr tta betalningsviljan f r musik och lagt grunden f r en starkare och mer h llbar musikekonomi. I dag r musikindustrin st rre och mer framg ngsrik n p l nge, b de i Sverige och globalt.
Under 2025 genererade svenska artister n ra 2 miljarder kronor i royalties fr n Spotify - n ra en f rdubbling j mf rt med 2018. Samtidigt visar rets siffror flera tydliga trender: fler artister n r h gre utbetalningsniv er, n rmare h lften av royalties till svenska artister genereras av oberoende artister eller bolag, och 66 procent kommer fr n lyssnare utanf r Sverige. Det understryker b de bredden i det svenska musiklivet och den starka internationella efterfr gan p svensk musik.
Detta och mer presenteras i rets svenska Loud & Clear-rapport, Spotifys rliga redovisning av royaltyutbetalningar.
Fler artister n r h gre utbetalningsniv er Fler svenska artister n n gonsin n r de h gre utbetalningsniv erna. Under 2025 genererade 557 svenska artister royalties p ver 500 000 kronor fr n Spotify, en kning med 5 % j mf rt med f reg ende r. 301 artister genererade ver en miljon (+ 3 %) och antalet artister som genererade mer n 5 miljoner kronor under 2025 p plattformen har n stan f rdubblats sedan 2019.
Tv tredjedelar av int kterna kommer fr n utlandet
Svensk musikexport forts tter att leverera. Hela 66 % av alla royalties som svenska artister genererade p Spotify under 2025 kom fr n lyssnare utanf r Sverige, en liten kning fr n 65 % 2024. Musik framf rd p svenska v xte med 5 % globalt p plattformen under 2025, och med 11 % sedan 2023.
J mst llt i toppskiktet En annan tydlig trend i rets data r att Sverige utm rker sig globalt n r det g ller representation: bland svenska artister som genererar mer n 1 miljon USD p Spotify r ver h lften antingen kvinnliga artister eller band med en mix av k n. Sverige rankas som det ledande landet globalt i denna kategori - ett resultat som speglar att svenska kvinnliga artister n r internationell framg ng p h gsta niv .
Indiescenen svarar f r n ra h lften av utbetalningarna Under 2025 genererades n rmare h lften (47 %) av alla svenska royalties av oberoende artister eller bolag, ett tecken p att framg ng p Spotify inte f ruts tter ett stort skivbolag i ryggen.
Streaming st r f r 94 % av marknaden f r inspelad musik Enligt en f rsk rapport fr n IFPI omsatte den svenska marknaden f r inspelad musik drygt 2,3 miljarder kronor under 2025. Streaming dominerar fortsatt den svenska musikmarknaden och st r f r 94 % av det totala marknadsv rdet.
Spotify r den enda streamingplattform som varje r redovisar hur utbetalningarna ser ut, b de globalt och per marknad. Spotifys globala utbetalningar uppgick 2025 till 11 miljarder USD, och sedan lanseringen har bolaget totalt betalat ut n rmare 70 miljarder USD till musikindustrin.
