Qobuz expands into Latin America and Portugal with the opening of its service in six new countries – five in Latin America and one in Europe, doubling the number of markets covered in two years. Supported by its recent fundraising of £18.4 million, Qobuz is continuing to expand. After its launch in Australia, New Zealand and the Nordic countries in April 2021, plus the acquisition of the Japanese high-resolution download service e-onkyo music, the French platform is now available on the South American continent. Latin America is the region with the highest growth rate in 2021 in the music streaming market (+32.5%, IFPI 2022 source). The five new countries in Latin America are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and together with Portugal brings the total number countries supported to 25.
Qobuz now has a catalogue of over 80 million tracks with streaming and downloads available in up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Georges Fornay, Deputy CEO of Qobuz said, “We are happy to announce the opening of our service in Latin America and Portugal. There are many who have eagerly anticipated our arrival, awaiting access to a streaming platform that is 100% music-focused and off the beaten path. Since 2020, we have taken an ambitious approach to development. This next step will reinforce our desire to forge ahead as a high quality music platform based on a unique and eclectic music experience and a respect for artists.”
