Spotify is entering more than 80 new markets in 2021, opening up the service to more than a billion potential new users in countries like Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Even in the U.S., <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of its most mature markets, hundreds of millions of dollars are still spent each year on CDs and digitally owned music through platforms like iTunes.

Whatever happens, it will benefit Spotify.</p>\n<h2>How it can win vs. other music streamers</h2>\n<p>Spotify faces tough competition. <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL), <b>Google</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG), and <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), three tech giants with gigantic balance sheets, all have music streaming services that compete for users. Pandora, which is now owned by <b>Sirius XM</b> (NASDAQ:SIRI), is another competitor but with significantly fewer users. Spotify has won against the tech giants because the audio market is its No. 1 priority. This focus allows it to work intensely to improve the experience for artists, industry executives, and consumers. It's proven out in Spotify's user growth, which has stayed steady in between 25% and 32% for the last 10 quarters even with these companies vying for subscribers.</p>\n<h2>How it can win the podcast market</h2>\n<p>While Spotify has a solid lead in music streaming, it is working from behind in podcasts. Apple has supported podcasts since 2005 through iTunes and its pre-downloaded Apple Podcasts app, and has been the industry leader for the last decade. Spotify only added podcasts to its service in 2015, however. By leveraging its already large music listener base and recent exclusive deals with shows like <i>The Joe Rogan <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a></i>, the company is actually projected to <i>pass</i> Apple in market share by the end of this year.</p>\n<p>Spotify is also building a podcast advertising network as another way to separate itself from Apple and its smaller competitors. With its original and exclusive shows, plus Anchor and Megaphone (the two podcast creation platforms it owns), Spotify has tens of thousands of shows it can immediately start serving targeted advertisements on. With a global listener base, data it can use to target advertisements, and two popular production tools, Spotify is building a value proposition for both creators and advertisers that is unmatched in the podcast industry.</p>\n<p>There are a lot of moving parts to Spotify's business. It operates in dynamic industries with large competitors like Google and Apple. However, with its underlying business model, high switching costs, and the investments it is making in podcasts, Spotify is setting itself up to eventually dominate the audio market. I can't speak to where the stock will trade, but if you believe in Spotify's business model and the growth of on-demand audio, there is a high likelihood this business is much larger five years from now.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Spotify Is Set to Win Over the Long Term</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy Spotify Is Set to Win Over the Long Term\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-26 21:14 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/26/why-spotify-is-set-to-win-over-the-long-term/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) was founded in 2006 on the idea of building a service with a better value proposition than pirated music, which was killing the music industry at the time.
