The International Music Summit recently published its annual report on the electronic music industry in May.
The rise of electronic music on various online platforms, and the industry's record-breaking value exceeding 11 billion dollars.
According to the findings, electronic music represents 39% of festivals, marking a 6% increase in bookings compared to 2021.
However, when examining the Top 100 DJs, female DJs accounted for only 15% of bookings and events, reflecting a 6% decline from 2021.
In terms of total bookings, female DJs experienced a remarkable growth of 199% in terms of the number of guests.
Although this growth is noteworthy, it still falls short when compared to male DJs, who achieved a 344% increase in bookings and hits.
IMS acknowledges that securing DJ engagements is a highly competitive business, but these statistics remain concerning despite the observed growth.
IMS reveals that female DJs face pressure to maintain a visually appealing image while performing, with 67% of women in the industry reporting such pressures.
56% of women in the industry struggle with limited financial resources, which obstructs their path to success.
