The news of Spotify's growth to over half a billion users comes just months after Q4 losses and significant layoffs in early 2023. In January, Ek announced that Spotify would fire six percent of its global workforce.
Spotify's user base increased 22 percent since last year, and 5 percent since last quarter. With 210 million subscribers among its 515 million monthly users, the company is considered to have the largest amount of paying subscribers compared to its competitors, per The Verge.
Apple Music, by comparison, is predicted reach 100 million subscribers by 2025. At the end of 2022, YouTube shared it has 32 billion monthly users, but the platform is not catered solely to music.
