Amazon is entering the music market after Saavn, Hungama and Gaana.com have marked a presence. Along with YouTube, these music players are dominating most of the online music streaming space. However, the music space is expecting a shakeup in the coming days as Prime is entering the market with an ad-free preposition with no added cost to Prime members. There are other players in the market with services from Telco like Airtel, Jio Music and Wynk.

For Amazon, it is a bigger move as the facility will be available for the Prime Members and hence the investments on this music acquisition will call for a prime budget location. Consumers will be happy to get more facilities under one umbrella.

As per a report, Amazon Prime has approximately 610,000 members at the end of 2017.

India has a potential music market and although Amazon is late players in entering the music market, they are still in expectations of a good response from the public. It will be a music library for Indians where music is available in ten different languages.
