Following is an excerpt of Billboard Magazine revealing stats on the current state of Latin music industry in general.

“According to the recent RIAA Latin Market Summary, net 2008 Latin shipments for audio/video units are down 42.4% from the previous year; over the past three years, they’re down 62.7%. And downloads only accounted for 2.5% of Latin album sales last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Although total digital revenue is larger than that from album sales due to income from mobile and streaming music products, the difference between the decline in the physical market and the growth in digital is striking—and it probably will not narrow soon enough for comfort. Latin artists, like those in every market, need to explore new ways to reinvent their business and replace the income they’ve lost.”

“In the United States, 79% of Hispanics are online, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, higher than any other group. According to ComScore M: Metrics, 71% of Hispanics consume content on their cell phones, compared with 48% of the general population. The market research company Insight reports that 30% of all Hispanic users of mobile data download or stream music to their phones, more than double the figure for non-Latinos.”
