Music DVD Growth Better Than Film DVD

The music DVD business grew at a higher rate in 2005 than the DVD business overall, according to Nielsen Entertainment research presented at the second annual Music DVD Awards.

Excluding CD-DVD combos, suppliers last year sold 21.4 million music DVDs, up from 20.6 million in 2004. That translates to nearly 4 percent growth compared with growth of less than 1 percent for the DVD business overall.

CDs still account for the vast majority of music purchases, Nielsen research shows, with 61.7 percent, followed by digital tracks at 35.2 percent.
