Description: TME Tencent Music Entertainment September 29, 2025
Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) runs a suite of online music platforms in China-including QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, and the karaoke app WeSing-delivering streaming, personalized discovery, long-form audio (audiobooks, podcasts, talk shows), music-oriented video, and live-streaming experiences through dedicated “Live” tabs and the Lazy Audio platform.
The company monetizes its ecosystem via multiple channels: premium subscriptions, advertising, digital album sales, content licensing, artist-related merchandise, and live-performance ticketing. It also offers artist management services and leverages its social features to drive higher engagement and higher-margin commerce.
From a recent earnings release (FY2023), TME reported revenue of roughly RMB 17.2 billion, with monthly active users (MAU) surpassing 800 million and a subscription conversion rate hovering around 12%. Live-streaming revenue grew about 30% year-over-year, reflecting strong consumer appetite for interactive entertainment post-pandemic.
Key sector drivers include China’s expanding digital-entertainment spend, projected to rise at a ~10% CAGR through 2028, and the gradual easing of regulatory scrutiny after the 2021 crackdown on online content, which should support stable growth for licensed music platforms. Competitive pressure remains high from NetEase Cloud Music and emerging short-video players, making user-engagement metrics and exclusive artist deals critical differentiators.
