Launched in October 2008 by Spotify AB, a Swedish company, the audio streaming platform was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2018.
Spotify is presently available in 93 countries and has over 345 million active monthly users.
With the new markets in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, its active users could jump significantly compared to rivals, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
“Together these markets represent more than a billion people, with nearly half of them already using the internet,” said Chief Premium Business Officer Alex Norstrom. “Some of the places we’re going like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nigeria have the fastest growing internet populations in the world.”
