Though the music and video sector has enjoyed a boost from the rapidly growing digital download market, general trading conditions remain challenging. Music retail is continuing to struggle with the onslaught of price deflation and greater levels of competition. The gains made from increased digital sales are not outweighing the continued decline in physical CD album sales. Competition is intensifying with the high street consolidating and online becoming increasingly fragmented.
