The growing adoption of smartphones is expected to drive the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the music market. Smartphones are devices that combine mobile phones with portable computers, offering features like email, data storage, and internet access. The widespread use of smartphones is fueled by factors such as connectivity, multifunctionality, affordability, social influences, and accessibility. With millions of smartphone users globally, more people now have access to music creation apps and platforms powered by generative AI. These apps allow users to compose, remix, and produce music directly from their smartphones, eliminating the need for expensive studio equipment or specialized software. For example, in May 2024, BankMyCell, a New York-based telecommunications company, reported that the global smartphone user base had reached 4.88 billion, which is 60.42% of the world’s population. When accounting for multiple devices, active smartphone subscriptions totaled 7.21 billion worldwide. Projections indicate that the number of smartphone users could grow to 6.38 billion by 2029, a 30.73% increase over the next five years. Therefore, the increasing adoption of smartphones is fueling the growth of generative AI in the music market.
