In Tuesday&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call, Spotify Technology SA&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) CEO Daniel Ek and interim CFO Ben Kung hinted at the possibility of future price increases, despite not providing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/business-of-music">concrete timeline. </a>
This comes on the heels of substantial hikes in 2023 and 2024, where the price of an individual plan in the U.S. rose from $9.99 to $11.99 per month.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Subscribers Stay Despite Price Hikes</h3>
Spotify&#8217;s strategic decision to raise prices did not result in subscriber loss or revenue decline. In the second quarter of 2024, Spotify added 7 million new subscribers, surpassing its own expectations by 1 million. 
The company reported a revenue of €3.8 billion ($4.15 billion), marking a 20% year-over-year increase. These gains helped Spotify swing from a €247 million ($269 million) operating loss in Q2 2023 to a €266 million ($290 million) operating profit in Q2 2024.
<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/spotify-signals-price-increases-in-future/">According</a> to Billboard, Ek said that the company saw &#8220;less churn in this round of increases than we did in our prior one, which was already very low by any measure.&#8221; Kung added that churn rates following the recent price hikes were &#8220;better than expected.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhanced Value and Retention</h3>
Ek attributes the low churn rates to the enhanced value Spotify has delivered over the years. The streaming giant has evolved into a comprehensive audio platform, adding popular features like the year-end Wrapped recap and Discovery Weekly playlists. 
The company&#8217;s significant investments in podcasts and audiobooks have also broadened its appeal. Ek added: &#8220;Access to all of this content would cost a user approximately $26 — significantly more than a Spotify subscription. Spotify remains a pretty outstanding deal.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Engagement Fuels Future Increases</h3>
Subscriber engagement remains crucial for Spotify&#8217;s strategy. Kung noted: &#8220;The most important thing in the near term is just making sure that audiobooks are driving incremental engagement for the platform, and we're seeing this happening in a way that makes us feel good about the path that we're on here.&#8221;
Ek also suggested that developing markets, which currently favor ad-supported listening, show high engagement levels that could justify future price increases. &#8220;The high engagement in [developing] markets gives us tremendous confidence in our ability to raise prices,&#8221; he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The HiFi Experience</h3>
Spotify is also targeting a subset of subscribers willing to pay more for an enhanced experience. After initially announcing a high-quality audio tier called HiFi in 2021 and subsequently delaying it, Ek confirmed its impending launch. &#8220;
The plan here is to offer a much better version of Spotify,&#8221; he stated. This premium tier is expected to be priced around $17-$18 per month, offering superior control and quality.
