Page titleStandfirstBodyCollections by regionAfricaBroadcast income contributes largely to African collectionsCollections in Africa rose by +14.2% in 2024 to reach EUR90m, a total that increased by +29.8% over the decade. While it remains the world%u2019s smallest collecting region, the rate of growth in 2024 was more than four percentage points higher than any other market globally.Music revenues increased by +10%, reaching nearly EUR80m and concluding a +30% rise over the decade. Audiovisual income grew by +2.6%, drama by +18.2% and literature by an exceptional +90.8%, driven by the start of new collections for reprography (the licensed photocopying or reproduction of printed works, such as books and articles, in educational and institutional settings) in Morocco. Visual arts was the only sector to decrease, falling by -26.5% from an already small base.Broadcast was the largest source of income, making up 38% of the region and rising by +14.5% to contribute more than one-third of all African growth. Live & background revenue grew by +13.8%, with strong increases in South Africa, Morocco and Kenya. Digital rose by +14.6% to reach EUR14.9m, but in stark contrast to other global regions where totals have multiplied over the decade, African digital collections remained just two-fifths above the 2015 level.New reprography collections drive growth in MoroccoCollections in Morocco rose by +46.8% in 2024 to reach EUR11.8m, making up 13% of the regional total. This represents a thirteen-fold increase in national revenue since 2015.The main driver of growth was an amendment to Morocco%u2019s legislation that introduced a reprographic right, allowing for royalty payments from the duplication of creators%u2019 works. This law came into effect in November 2023, and in its first year, reprography collections generated EUR3.8m%u2014accounting for nearly onethird of the country%u2019s total collections.Broadcast and live & background collections also grew significantly, rising by +57.3% and +39.9% respectively. Both sectors ended the year with totals more than three times higher than in 2015. Private copying remained Morocco%u2019s largest revenue source. Despite a drop of -14.4%, income from this source still exceeded EUR5m. As in many African countries, it continues to provide a vital lifeline for creators.%u20ac90M was collected in Africa in 2024, a +14.2% rise.Three countries continue to dominate regional African collectionsFollowing double-digit growth, South Africa remained the dominant contributor to the African region%u2019s collections, accounting for more than half of the total. Morocco grew even faster at +46.8%, while C%u00f4te d%u2019Ivoire posted a solid increase of +21.6%. Together, these top three markets represented 73% of the regional total. In 2015, their combined share was closer to 50%, but a decade of growth, totalling +81.6%, has seen them pull significantly ahead of the rest of the region.In 2024, however, the fastest-growing individual country in Africa was ninthplaced Guinea, where income more than doubled, driven by rapid growth in broadcast revenues and a five-fold rise in private copying during its second year of collections. Zimbabwe also saw strong growth, increasing by +55.9% to complete a four-fold rise over the decade. Meanwhile, the return of the live & background sector in Kenya contributed to an increase of +59.5%.South Africa sees growth in its top three revenue streamsCollections in South Africa accounted for 52.6% of the region and increased by +12.4% in 2024 to reach EUR47.5m. Nearly half of total revenues came from the broadcast sector, which rose by +11.5% following a TV licence renegotiation that enabled creators to share in the growth of a major national broadcaster. A strong rise in radio revenue was also recorded, supported by increased advertising income.Digital revenues also grew, rising by +16.6% to account for one-quarter of the South African market. Audio streaming and subscription video performed well, supported by a joint licence agreement between local societies CAPASSO and SAMRO, which bolstered digital income. The fastest-growing segment was live & background, where a rise in concert activity more than doubled income from live music and drove a +23.1% increase in the sector%u2019s total revenue. This revenue stream now represents nearly one-fifth of South Africa%u2019s total collections but has risen just +1.1% over the past decade.Country/Territory Collections % Growth vs 2015 vs 2020South Africa 48 +12.4% +44.4% +30.3%Morocco 12 +46.8% +1262.5% +59.7%C%u00f4te d'Ivoire 7 -10.8% +160.4% +56.0%Grand Total %u20ac90M +14.2% +29.8% +42.6%Top three collecting countries/territory (EUR million)Use category Collections % Growth vs 2015 vs 2020TV & Radio 34 +14.5% +25.1% +24.1%Digital 15 +14.6% +41.2% +102.1%Live & Background 19 +13.8% +8.4% +47.8%CD & Video 1 -40.1% +30.9% -22.2%Educational Use 0.1 0.0% -Other 0.4 -70.6% -5.2% -19.9%Private Copying 13 +6.4% +43.7% +20.6%Rental/Public Lending 0.01 -93.1% -88.9% +73.2%Reproduction 0.00 -97.4% -97.3% -82.4%Reprography 7 +107.0% +125.8% +176.9%Grand Total %u20ac90M +14.2% +29.8% +42.6%Breakdown of collections by type of use (EUR million)Share of collections by type of use (EUR million)0% 10% 20% 30% 40%TV & RadioCD & VideoLive & BackgroundOtherDigitalEducational UsePrivate CopyingRental/Public LendingReprographyReproduction21.3% %u20ac19M 16.5% %u20ac15M 14.2% %u20ac13M 8.2% %u20ac7M 1.3% %u20ac1M 0.4% %u20ac0.4M 0.1% %u20ac0.1M 0.0% %u20ac0.01M 0.0% %u20ac0.0M 38.0% %u20ac34M CISAC Forewords CISAC AI Fraud Highlights Market analysis Futuresource Collections by repertoire Collections by region Tables of collections Membership About the report Methodology68 69Forewords CISAC AI Fraud Highlights Market analysis Futuresource Collections by repertoire Collections by region Tables of collections Membership About the report Methodology Global Collections Report
