Analyst Opinion

The Online Gambling market in Ghana is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in the Online Gambling market in Ghana are shifting towards convenience and accessibility. With the increasing availability of smartphones and internet connectivity, more Ghanaians are opting to gamble online instead of visiting traditional brick-and-mortar casinos. Online platforms offer a wide range of gambling options, including sports betting, casino games, and lottery, providing customers with a convenient and immersive gambling experience from the comfort of their own homes. Trends in the market indicate a growing interest in sports betting among Ghanaians. Football is a popular sport in Ghana, and online gambling platforms have capitalized on this by offering a variety of betting options on local and international football matches. This trend is fueled by the widespread adoption of mobile money services, which allow users to deposit and withdraw funds easily, making online sports betting more accessible to a larger segment of the population. Another trend in the Online Gambling market in Ghana is the emergence of local online gambling operators. These operators cater specifically to the Ghanaian market, offering tailored services and promotions that resonate with local customers. This localization strategy helps to build trust and loyalty among Ghanaian gamblers, who prefer to engage with platforms that understand their unique preferences and cultural nuances. Local special circumstances also contribute to the development of the Online Gambling market in Ghana. The country has a relatively young population, with a high percentage of tech-savvy individuals who are comfortable using digital platforms. This demographic advantage, combined with the government's efforts to promote digitalization and financial inclusion, creates a conducive environment for the growth of online gambling. Underlying macroeconomic factors further support the expansion of the Online Gambling market in Ghana. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income among the population. As Ghanaians have more discretionary income, they are more likely to engage in leisure activities such as online gambling. Additionally, the government's focus on diversifying the economy and reducing reliance on traditional industries has opened up opportunities for the online gambling sector to flourish. In conclusion, the Online Gambling market in Ghana is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As Ghanaians increasingly seek convenience and accessibility in their gambling activities, online platforms are poised to capitalize on this demand and continue to grow in the coming years.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services.

Modeling approach:

Market size is determined through a Top-Down approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and 4G coverage.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). Data from the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey is reweighted for representativeness.
