Denmark, known for its picturesque coastline and vibrant maritime culture, has seen a steady growth in its Cruises market in recent years.
Customer preferences: Travelers in Denmark are increasingly drawn to the convenience and luxury that cruises offer. With the rise of experiential travel, more Danes are opting for cruise vacations to explore multiple destinations in a single trip. The all-inclusive nature of cruises, which often include accommodation, meals, and entertainment, appeals to customers looking for hassle-free holiday experiences.
Trends in the market: One notable trend in the Danish Cruises market is the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly cruise options. As environmentally conscious consumers seek greener travel alternatives, cruise lines are incorporating more sustainable practices such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, and shore power connections. This trend aligns with Denmark's strong focus on sustainability and green initiatives, making eco-friendly cruises a popular choice among Danish travelers.
Local special circumstances: Denmark's strategic location as a gateway to the Baltic Sea has positioned it as a key hub for cruise itineraries in Northern Europe. The country's well-developed infrastructure, including modern cruise terminals and efficient transportation networks, has further boosted its appeal as a cruise destination. Additionally, Denmark's rich maritime heritage and cultural attractions provide unique experiences for cruise passengers, enhancing the overall appeal of the Danish Cruises market.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Cruises market in Denmark can also be attributed to favorable macroeconomic conditions. A stable economy, rising disposable incomes, and increasing consumer confidence have contributed to higher spending on leisure activities such as cruise vacations. Furthermore, government support for the tourism sector and initiatives to promote Denmark as a cruise destination have helped drive the expansion of the market.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of cruises.Modeling approach:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.Additional notes:
The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
