Estimated Ringtones Market in 2006

As this graph shows, the ringtones market is set to continue to grow phenomenally in 2006.

Jamster’s Crazy Frog ringtone was by far 2005’s bestseller, taking 31 per cent of the British ringtones market, now worth £133 million.

The ringtone market is now believed to be worth more than twice the value of CD single sales, excluding internet downloads. Novelty tracks are most popular with the 5-to-15-year-olds, who drive the ringtone market.
Sweetie Chick’s Tweet Tweet, another strange animal from Jamster, was the year’s second-biggest selling ringtone.

"It's become a very profitable area and there's strong growth ahead," said Richard Jesty, an analyst for The Arc Group. Source
