Figure 1

The number of newly founded digital music companies in China had experienced a sharp growth in 2005, and then dropped to zero in the following years due to the difficulties to obtain music copyright and strategies adopted by the large companies to eliminate competition in the market.

TME had the highest digital music downloads market shares of 66% in 2016, and Netease's digital music downloads market shares were 18%, which was the second-highest. Digital music companies’ music downloads market shares were approximately proportional to the amount of music copyright they owned. That is to say, the amount of copyright owned directly reflects a company's competitiveness in the market.
