The UK's Digital Entertainment and Retail Association (ERA) reports similar statistics in the country, with the market for vinyl growing by 10.5% last year. The BBC writes that 6.7 million records were sold in Britain and Northern Ireland in the 12 months, generating £196 million.

Despite streaming services continuing to dominate the business of recorded music, there’s still very much a place for physical media in that sector. The Recording Industry of America said in an annual report [PDF] that sales of vinyl records rose for the 18th straight year in the US to $1.

The U.S. passed 100 million paid music-streaming subscribers for the first time and vinyl continued its 18-year growth, per RIAA 2024 report.
