The main results of the report are:

- The Swedish music industry as a whole, has basically had the same amount of total revenues although changes have occurred in revenue shares,

- Record labels and artists have seen a huge decline in total revenues for recorded music during the time period,

- The live sector has seen a steady growth leading to larger revenues for live promoters, venues and artists,

- Artists, as a group considered, have seen a steady growth of total revenues as a result of increasing live revenues, as well as increased revenues fromthe collecting society SAMI,

- In total, collecting societies have become increasingly important for the overall economics of the music industry in Sweden.

Here is a blog post discussing the results of the report further.
