Despite this dip, it remained the fourth largest income source for creators, behind digital, broadcast and live & background collections, and further widened its lead over income from CDs and video.Private copying revenues are often cyclical, influenced by changing consumer habits, technology trends and policy developments. Since 2015, however, annual income has grown by +36.3%, eight times the growth rate of TV & radio. Over the same period, revenue from CD & video has declined by -37.7%. While current figures remain below the 2020 peak of EUR475m, private copying continues to play a crucial role in supporting creators and rightsholders. Levies on the sale of digital media and devices capable of copying works help fund a wide range of cultural programming and development initiatives.On the policy front, 2024 brought notable progress. In October, the Senegalese government adopted a decree to implement the UEMOA (West African Economic and Monetary Union) private copying directive into national law. This milestone, the result of more than a decade of advocacy by CISAC and partners, marks a major step forward for creators in the region.%u20ac379MPRIVATE COPYING3% share of global collectionsCISAC also supported efforts in Bulgaria, host of the 2025 General Assembly, where member society MUSICAUTOR is working to establish an effective private copying system.However, setbacks remain.
