Limited data exists on specific 2025 subsidies for regional platforms, but government tech investments indirectly spur growth. India’s $1B digital push, per 2025 budgets, boosts JioSaavn, with 10% music stream growth. China’s state-backed WeChat gains 5% users, hosting K-pop promos despite tariffs. EU grants ($200M) support local platforms like Deezer, growing 8% in music niches. Subsidies favor national champions, but global giants dominate—90% of ad spend stays with Meta/TikTok. Regional platforms rise, yet scale lags without broader user adoption.
