According to the 2025 customer and stakeholder survey, Gramex customer satisfaction has remained unchanged. The Gramex Customer Satisfaction Index (NPS) in the survey, which ended in early October, was 43 points, exactly the same as last year's survey. Customers praised the smooth customer service and reliability, among other things.

At the beginning of January 2026, Gramex's client agreement will be updated by decision of the general meeting. The agreement for both music performers and producers will change Gramex's rights to license the use of music. New licensing areas include the use of music as background music for podcasts and the possibility to sell licences to libraries, archives and museums for the use of sound recordings and music videos that have been withdrawn from commercial distribution and thus considered “out of commerce”. The customer may choose to exclude the new areas from their contract.
