According to new research, revenue from advertising on music streaming services will total approximately $780m in 2015 – rising to $1bn by 2017.

Juniper Research also found that due to consumer preference for streaming rather than downloading, the download market is experiencing a gradual decline. The study attributed the change in preference partly due to the diminishing costs of broadband and mobile network costs – presenting the opportunity for streamers to boost ad-based revenues. Spotify recently announced ad revenues grew by 380% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period the previous year.

Apple’s recently launched Apple Music may be a major force behind the positive forecast of the study, which is running both audio and display ads from McDonalds, Nordstrom, and others to subscribers.
