Despite being in direct competition with some of the biggest names in the tech industry, the company has managed to accumulate over one hundred million paying subscribers and millions more free and ad-supported users. Spotify has ensured that this massive userbase has led to increasing financial success. The company reported an annual revenue of around 5.3 billion euros in 2018, outpacing its 2017 figure by well over a billion dollars.
