Abstract

The rapid global integration of the music industry has brought about both significant challenges and unprecedented opportunities. This paper examines the impact of globalization on the music industry, focusing on the multifaceted ways in which it has reshaped the landscape of music production, distribution, and consumption. On one hand, globalization has facilitated the expansion of international markets and the diversification of music genres, allowing for a more diverse and accessible music culture. However, it has also introduced challenges such as the decline of traditional revenue streams, copyright issues, and the homogenization of tastes. This paper argues that while challenges persist, the music industry must adapt to take advantage of the opportunities presented by globalization. This involves leveraging digital platforms for broader market reach, embracing copyright reform, and fostering cultural exchange to maintain the unique identity of local music scenes.
