Cloud streaming services help prevent the illegal downloading and sharing of video and audio files. Vendors are adopting push strategies by focusing on the freemium business model that aims at migrating free users to premium services while ensuring sustainability. This leads to an increase in the adoption of cloud streaming services. Several players, such as Spotify, offer premium services for a monthly subscription fee as well as free subscription services. Consumers are slowly shifting toward paid premium services to gain access to additional features, including shuffle play, advertisement-free, downloading, high-quality audio, and the skipping function. Consumers have shifted from the use of iPods and music systems to cloud-based streaming services, which allow users to store, download, stream, and share content. Cloud computing is rapidly being adopted by firms because it provides users legal access to online music, even from remote servers, irrespective of the device used. The growing Internet penetration, adoption of push strategies by market players, and better cloud streaming services will encourage consumers to adopt cloud streaming services during the forecast period. Slow internet speed and low coverage is anticipated to hinder the market growth in the forecasted period. The internet has still not penetrated all parts of the globe thus making it difficult for people to access the internet and services based on it. Moreover, data plans in most parts of the world are still costly thus making it difficult for people to purchase it. Such factors could hinder the market growth in the forecasted period.
