With the combined effect of technology，policy and market，China’s network music industry continued its steady development in 2021，with significant growth in both the number of users and revenue scale. The industry pattern of “one super and one strong” is basically stable，with new players joining the industry，expanding the industry chain and business types. Market boundaries continue to dissolve and cross-border development has become mainstream，with the network music industry intermingling with short-form video，social media and long-form audio. The exclusive copyright model has dissolved，major platforms have strengthened their support for original music，online performances have become the norm，and sleep-aiding and healing music has been an eye-catcher. With the promotion of technology，concepts such as meta-universe and NFT have been applied in the online music industry，and user payment rates have increased significantly. For the future，the network music industry needs to focus on the new demand and trend of “listening”，targeting niche groups and scenarios，continuously innovating content and services，and improving the supply capacity of quality music products.
