Does anyone know how big the hobbyist market is for electronic musicians? I've noticed a lot of my acquaintances talk about "making beats", including a lot of people I'd never suspect. It's made me think that group is larger than I would have thought.

Its a multi-million dollar industry. Musicians are everywhere. There are a lot more hobbyist synth players than "professionals", although there seem to be a fair few of those too.
