2022: Production of media for copying data in Russia increased 2.6 times

The production of media for copying information increased in the Russian Federation in 2022 increased 2.6 times compared to the previous year. This is evidenced by the data of Rosstat, published in early February 2023.

According to RBC, we are talking about the following categories of products:

• copying to phonograph records, CDs and music or other sound recordings from the original matrix (master copies);
• copying films and other videos from the original matrix to video tapes, CDs and cassettes;
• copying to disks, magnetic tapes, writing to electronic medium, writing to memory of electronic computer (computer) of computer programs and data from original medium.

The production of media for copying data in Russia in 2022 increased significantly

Citizens' interest in physical media provoked, among other things, the departure of Western online cinemas. For example, sales of WMV and Blu-ray discs from March to September 2022 increased 2.2 times compared to 2021, M.Video-Eldorado reported.

The head of the IoT company's group Softline Valery Milykh believes that 2.6 times growth is most likely "magic of numbers and economies of scale" with an increase in copying to phonograph records. He recalled that recently there has been a boom in their sales. According to Milykh, this is due to several factors:

• desire to have a "physical copy" rather than access to the audio file service;
• the influence of marketing clichés about the "present, lamp sound" of records;
• shifting the attention of artists to phonograph records as a good element of the formation of author's remuneration, since in this segment there is a clear and understandable accounting of the number.

At the same time, the expert made a reservation that only one company for the production of phonograph records remained in Russia - Ultra Production.

If you look at its production rates of finished records, you can see an increase, from year to year. And this, despite the obvious difficulties with production, raw materials, - he added.[1]
