IMS publish dance sector report
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 26 July 2010
Organisers of the International Music Summit, the music business conference staged in Ibiza and aimed at the dance music industry, have published an ‘annual business report’ on the electronic music market.
Initially shared with delegates at the IMS back in May, according to the blurb it “contains up-to-date statistics, analysis and insight on the key elements of the global electronic music industry, providing individuals and organisations from all areas of electronic music with a global end-to-end view of the industry”.
Ben Turner, co-founder of IMS, told CMU: “The IMS mission statement from year one was ‘Back To Business’ and its amazing to see what has happened to our industry in the last twelve months. It is clear with all the conversations people in the electronic world are having with brands, media companies, mainstream labels and investors, that there is a hunger to be associated with this genre”.
He continued: “Yet when it comes to facts and figures, our industry tends to undersell itself. This report is the start of an investment from the IMS side in providing some real data and whilst it falls short of being in anyway comprehensive, it is a starting point, the first step in finally explaining to the wider industry quite how popular this scene really is”.
