The Global Collections Report provides a comprehensive analysis of copyright revenue data for 2024, drawn from a network of 228 collective management organisations across 111 countries and territories. The report shows that global royalty collections reached 13.97 billion EUR, an increase of 6.6% compared with 2024, with digital revenue continuing to lead global growth trends.

Although Viet Nam is still in the process of digital transformation, the Viet Nam Centre for Protection of Music Copyright (VCPMC) has adopted an active and flexible approach, seizing opportunities and leveraging available resources while strengthening international cooperation. This has enabled the organisation to pursue tailored solutions aimed at optimising revenue.

According to the report, Viet Nam’s digital revenue grew by 15.7%, reflecting the strong expansion of the copyright market in the online environment. Digital Weight reached 86.6%, one of the highest in the region, indicating that the majority of Viet Nam’s royalty income comes from the digital sector.

The CISAC report also provides a global ranking of copyright revenue, with Viet Nam placed 47th among the world’s top 50 music copyright markets. The country recorded total copyright collections of 14 million EUR, representing growth of 12.7% compared with 2024. This notable increase highlights the strong development of Viet Nam’s copyright market, particularly in the digital segment—which accounts for 86.6% of total collections.

In recent years, the VCPMC has made significant strides across multiple areas of operation and has been highly regarded by the CISAC.

With the determination and intellectual capacity of the Vietnamese people, the VCPMC continues to affirm its pivotal role in promoting Vietnamese works internationally, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of its member authors, and fostering creativity within a civilised and progressive environment.
