Description: TME Tencent Music Entertainment December 04, 2025

Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) runs China’s leading online music platforms-including QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo, and the karaoke app WeSing-offering streaming, long-form audio (audiobooks, podcasts), music-oriented video, and live-streaming services. The ecosystem also monetizes through artist-related merchandise, digital album sales, content licensing, concert ticketing, and advertising across its social-entertainment hubs. TME is headquartered in Shenzhen and operates as a subsidiary of Tencent Holdings.

Key recent metrics: 2023 total revenue rose ~13% YoY to CNY 23.4 billion, driven by a 19% jump in ad revenue as brands increase spend on short-form video ads; monthly active users (MAU) across all platforms reached ~800 million, with a 7% increase in paid-subscriber conversion rate to ~12% of MAU. The Chinese digital entertainment market is expanding at ~10% CAGR, supported by rising broadband penetration and higher disposable income among Gen-Z consumers, but remains sensitive to regulatory scrutiny of online content.
