Music Industry Analysis:
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) measures the sustained entry rate of new players. As Gabe Dalporto pointed out to Rolling Stone, the surge from 25% to 31% reflects expanding festival representation, female-led indie rock resurgence, and broader retail onboarding across beginner and intermediate electric guitar models.
