This report evokes the ecosystem concept to describe the complex and interconnected nature of the music sector. It\u2019s useful to better make sense of the diverse actors, their multi-layered motivations, interactions, and environment in context. Such context-sensitive analysis can help identify the necessary leverage points for effective policy making and collective action.<br><br>The data sources used in this report include: data collected by the Bulgarian Association of Music Producers (BAMP), data collected by the CMOs and published in their annual reports, and national statistics gathered in Bulgaria by the National Statistical Institute (NSI). While there are challenges with combining all these sources, to some degree, a more comprehensive overview of the music economy is possible. For the contextual understanding, the report relies on expert interviews as well as available reports, policy documents and other written sources.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-35-117 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-124 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-4.png\" alt=\"BAMP - Background\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-4.png 304w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-4-203x300.png 203w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-125 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-5.png\" alt=\"BAMP - Background\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 40px) 100vw, 40px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-280 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-1.png\" alt=\"Maria Ilieva\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-1.png 533w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-1-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-126 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-6-e1761671971408.png\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-6-e1761671971408.png 509w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-6-e1761671971408-214x300.png 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"bde-section-35-127 bde-section\" data-bde-lazy-bg=\"waiting\">\n  \n        \n    \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-container\"><div class=\"bde-div-35-122 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-121 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-8.png\" alt=\"BAMP - Background\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\">\n<\/div><h2 class=\"bde-heading-35-129 bde-heading\">\nWhat is a music ecosystem?\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-div-35-132 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-133 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-8.png\" alt=\"BAMP - Background\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\">\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-columns-35-134 bde-columns\"><div class=\"bde-column-35-135 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-text-35-138 bde-text\">\nA recent European Commission paper defined the music ecosystem as a \u201cnetwork of music sector actors, their environment, their interdependencies and interactions through the production, distribution and consumption of music so that value is created for the system itself,  and for<br>the systems it is part of\u201d.

In the context of rights, an \"artist\" (often the public-facing persona) might simultaneously be an author (songwriter, composer), performer, and even the producer (master rights owner) of their own recordings. These different roles involve distinct rights (author's, performer's, producer's), and understanding these combinations is vital when analysing, for example, artist success in the digital era.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"bde-section-35-141 bde-section\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-container\"><div class=\"bde-div-35-144 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-142 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bamp-img-12.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><h2 class=\"bde-heading-35-143 bde-heading\">\nThe Bulgarian music ecosystem in numbers\n<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-columns-35-145 bde-columns\"><div class=\"bde-column-35-146 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-35-149 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931.png\" alt=\"The total music rights revenue in Bulgaria\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931.png 1740w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931-1024x853.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931-768x640.png 768w, https:\/\/ecosystem.bamp-bg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafika-1-obshti-prihodi-e1762250558931-1536x1280.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1740px) 100vw, 1740px\">\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-35-147 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-text-35-148 bde-text\">\nThe total music rights revenue in Bulgaria has grown significantly, from more than \u20ac9.2 mln in 2018 to <b>\u20ac25.6 mln <\/b>in 2024. <br><br>This represents <b>a total growth of 180%<\/b> and CAGR of 18.7%.<br><br>This growth has been mostly driven by producers\u2019 direct revenues (up 454% over the past 7 years), making up 47% of the total music rights revenues in 2024 (up from 23,7% share in 2018).\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"bde-fancy-divider-35-150 bde-fancy-divider\">\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-fancy-divider__wrapper\">\n  <div class=\"bde-fancy-divider__separator   \">\n  \t  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"bde-section-35-152 bde-section\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-container\"><div class=\"bde-columns-35-156 bde-columns\"><div class=\"bde-column-35-159 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-text-35-160 bde-text\">\nThe growth of recorded music revenue for producers over the past 7 years has been significant \u2013 from \u20ac5.4 mln to \u20ac16.8 mln in total, with a total growth of 215% and CAGR of 21.1%. <br><br>The main source of this growth is revenue from digital platforms, including subscription and ad-supported audio streams as well as video streams.
