Spotify is reportedly close to enter two promising markets in Asia. Techcrunch said that the music streaming platform has set eyes on Japan, where the music streaming is seen growing, and Indonesia, the fourth largest country in the world at a staggering 250 million people.
The Drum noted that Spotify published a job ad for a financial controller in Tokyo. The company reportedly has four other people working in the city. Moreover, another ad for a music editor has been published, and is looking for a local in Indonesia to do the job.
Recently, Sunita Kaur, Spotify managing director of Asia, was interviewed by Tech in Asia about their expansion plans in the region. She also discussed the challenges of expanding the company’s footprint in Asia despite it being a new global brand. The Drum wrote that in Japan alone, Spotify would have to navigate with the complexity of the country’s music licenses and the market’s inability to shift from their love of CDs to online music streaming.
