Qobuz, an independent French music streaming service, grew 45.7% in 2025, defying a broader slowdown in the streaming sector. While Spotify and Apple Music dominate global markets with hundreds of millions of subscribers, Qobuz has carved out a profitable niche by focusing on lossless audio and serving audiophile listeners willing to pay premium prices. The company's strong performance suggests there remains appetite for specialized alternatives even in a market dominated by tech giants.
