The Numbers Illustrate, 2024 Was A Challenge For
All Music Products Retailers

By the numbers, 2024 was a down year on every front for the 200 largest U.S. based music products retailers. Estimated gross revenues for the group declined 4% to $6.63 billion, compared to $6.90 billion in 2023, the employee count trended down 6.2% to 21,140 versus 22,830 in 2023 and the number of storefronts declined 4.5% to 1,116 versus 1,168. The 54 retailers on the roster who posted sales gains for the year were in a distinct minority. 134 of their counterparts saw declines ranging from 1% to 40% with the remaining 12 posting flat revenues. Declines are never welcome, but the music products retailers who struggled in 2024 can take some comfort knowing that many other industries faced a similar plight
