Market Overview:
The global mastering software market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for high-quality audio content and rising adoption of digital audio workstations (DAWs) among professional musicians and audio engineers. In terms of type, the global mastering software market is segmented into download and boxed software. Download software accounted for a larger share of the global mastering software market in 2017, owing to its low cost and easy availability over the internet. However, boxed software is expected to witness higher growth during the forecast period due to its growing popularity among professional users for its enhanced security features and better customer support services. In terms of application, Mac accounted for a larger share of the global mastering software market in 2017, followed by PC.
Product Definition:
Mastering software is a process of optimizing the quality and loudness of an audio recording. The objective of mastering is to create a stereo or surround sound mix that sounds as good as possible on all playback systems. Mastering can also improve the sound quality of older recordings.
Download:
download is a method of obtaining software or other electronic content from an online source. The growth factor in the market for download is that it saves time and costs less than installing the same application over again.
The Mastering Software industry has been growing at a steady pace, with no major seismic shifts in sight, until recently when downloads outpaced sales for the first time ever.
Boxed:
Boxed is a term used for the software or product that comes with all necessary cables and accessories. It includes hardware such as microphones, headphones, mixers, converters among others. The boxed version of the product is usually more expensive than its counterparts as it contains additional features not available in other versions such as plug-ins or expansions.
Mastering software has become an important tool in the music industry for finalizing.
Application Insights:
The box version of the software is preferred by most of the users as it comes with all necessary accessories such as disc, manual, code sheet and headphones. The boxed version is a complete package for music lovers as it contains everything required to practice and play the game. Boxed versions are more expensive than downloadable versions but they provide better quality sound due to inclusion of extra features such as instrument & vocal lessons, background music loops and backing tracks along with album art.
The downloadable version is very convenient to use as there is no need for installing any additional software or driver updates. All Mastering Software needs are a computer with Windows Vista/7/8 operating system or Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard installed in order to run properly. There are two types of downloads available namely online download and boxed download which provides an audio interface (included in both cases) between player piano rollers and mastering software application program interfaces (API).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. This can be attributed to availability of advanced technology, high internet penetration, and growing demand for digital content worldwide. Furthermore, presence of key players such as Avid Technology Inc.; dbx Corporation; and Telex Communications Inc., in this region is also contributing towards growth of the market for global mastering software.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing number of audio-visual companies in countries such as China and India who are investing heavily in production & post-production facilities that involve usage of these software applications for music editing & mixing as well as video editing purposes.
Europe has been one of leading consumers across all categories including boxed products; downloadable products; hardware devices;.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for software products and services from small and medium businesses (SMBs)
- Proliferation of digital technologies, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Emergence of new software development paradigms such as DevOps
- Growing demand for cloud-based software solutions
- Increased focus on security by organizations across all industries
