50% of vinyl buyers don't own a record player
Summary: According to a recent study by Luminate, a music sales data company, about 50% of vinyl LP buyers in the US don't own a record player. The study found that of the 3,900 US-based respondents surveyed, only 50% of consumers who have bought vinyl in the past 12 months own a record player, compared to 15% among music listeners overall. Luminate credits these stats largely to "superfans," who they define as "music listeners who spend above average (median) time AND money on music, actively discover new music, participate in music-related activities on social media, and plan on attending a live music event in the next 12 months." However, the vast majority of music revenue (84% in 2022) still comes from streaming services, which could indicate that a lot of these "superfans" buy vinyl simply for the sake of owning rather than necessarily listening to it.
