Game music refers to original digital audio assets specifically developed for the scenes, plots and interactive behaviors of video games, with functions of narrative and atmosphere creation. The upstream supply chain of this product consists of professional composers, acoustic instrument players, orchestras, voice-over singers, sound effect designers, as well as digital audio workstation software and high-precision sound library suppliers; the midstream supply chain includes independent game music production studios, audio engineering departments within game giants, and audio middleware developers, who are responsible for the overall creation, mixing, mastering processing and integration of dynamic interaction logic of the music; the downstream supply chain mainly connects with game developers, game publishers, global digital distribution platforms and streaming music dissemination channels.

The game music industry is evolving comprehensively towards a direction of "multi-channel real-time dynamic interactivity, AI-assisted personalized track generation, and high-precision symphony recording". The future trend is that music will no longer be a fixed and repetitive copy, but dynamic and procedural music that is seamlessly reorganized based on the player's health, enemy density, and environmental weather using audio middleware. At the same time, major projects are increasingly inclined to hire the world's top symphony orchestras for full recording to create epic auditory narratives. The core driving force behind the continuous and stable expansion of this market lies first in the increasingly demanding requirements of global gamers for game immersion and emotional resonance. High-quality music has become a key factor determining the long-term retention rate of games and the vitality of IP; secondly, the explosion of global cloud gaming and open-world game types has brought a rigid demand for long-duration and high-quality background music; finally, the trend of game exports and global distribution. Developers urgently need to use international music languages that integrate Eastern and Western cultural elements to break through cultural barriers in different markets around the world.
