Does anyone have an idea as to the size of the electronic music industry?
I can find ample stats about how many albums Michael Jackson sold or Lady Gaga but none for the overall size of the EDM market.
Any sources would be great thanks =] |

| the problem is that actual and potential are so far apart. |

| the average person has no idea where to buy dance music. They are stuck to listening to dj mixes. |

everyone can type on google and buy music. EDM market isn't very big, if you try to download michael jackson's album you'll find problems to download a quality copy of it illegally, in edm is easier to find a 320kbps mp3 than a bad quality one.
On your local music stores you can have a shelve for edm, all will be filled but pseudo edm acts like Rihanna Lady Gaga or David Guetta and ocasionally some Armada/Ultrarecords compilation or album.
The rest of the store will be non edm music, in some stores is easier to find some obscure album of a estonian heavy metal band than a Ferry Corsten album. |

| Depends if you count lady gaga as EDM. |

| the problem is that they don't know what to buy because producers are hidden behind the dj. This is why I suggested djs have their tracks broadcasted on some screen. People want to buy it, they don't know where and they don't know what. |

i've always thought that clubs lack of a screen behind the dj with the tracklist of the show... now you have shazam to recognize the tracks but i don't know how accurate it is |

| The problem with Shazam and similar apps is that it is largely dependent on people who actually get paid to go out and find the newest and most hip/popular music. Which will almost never be EDM, but only the Lady Gaga's and Justin Biebers of this world. |

Define market?
- market size? measured in
- revenue?
- committed airtime?
- ecosystem commerce?
- time spend by engineers?
- paid jobs in the genre?
- Podcast marketshare by genre?
- instrument / software / hardware manufacturers?
Not sure what you're after? |

seems you can buy the information for $4000 dollars but is there no where its reported for free?
I found that in the UK in 2007 25% of all albums sold were dance compilations which was shocking. |

I'd be willing to bet money that I could find a 320 kbps or even a FLAC version of his entire discography in a few minutes. It's definitely not easier to find random EDM tracks that have very little demand on their own compared to someone like MJ. |
