The AMA’s business survey and consumer survey are open for responses in August 2026.
The AMA introduced the State of the Industry (SOTI) Report in 2024 to enhance its Data & Insights work. The report sits alongside the Market Report (based on comprehensive import data) and focuses on a wide range of different questions including business confidence, sales trends, employment, and issues facing businesses in the music products industry. It is based on the model of the MIA’s State of the Industry report for the UK market, with questions selected and written for the needs of the AMA.
The report is available to members, presented each year at the Industry Leadership Summit, and data has been used to inform members, AMA government submissions, the NAMM Global Report, The Bass Line report, and other parts of AMA’s work.
The SOTI report is based on a business survey, which is open in August. One person from each music products business in Australia (members and non-members) are invited to complete the survey.
The Consumer Insights report is a more recent initiative and is based on a public survey for all consumers of music products. This survey is open in August.
