Analyst Opinion

The Online Gambling market in NAFTA has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Customers in the NAFTA region have shown a growing interest in online gambling due to its convenience and accessibility. The ability to gamble from the comfort of one's own home or on-the-go through mobile devices has attracted a large number of customers. Additionally, the availability of a wide range of online gambling options, including casino games, sports betting, and poker, has catered to different customer preferences and increased the overall appeal of online gambling.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Online Gambling market in NAFTA is the increasing adoption of mobile gambling. With the widespread use of smartphones and tablets, customers are now able to access online gambling platforms anytime and anywhere. This trend has not only expanded the customer base but has also led to the development of mobile-specific gambling apps and optimized websites to enhance the user experience. Another trend in the market is the rise of live dealer games. These games, which allow customers to interact with real dealers through video streaming, have gained popularity due to their ability to replicate the immersive experience of a land-based casino. The use of advanced technology and high-speed internet connections has made it possible for customers to enjoy live dealer games in real-time, adding a new dimension to the online gambling experience.

Local special circumstances:
The Online Gambling market in NAFTA is also influenced by local special circumstances. In Canada, for example, the market is shaped by provincial regulations that allow online gambling but with certain restrictions and licensing requirements. This has led to the emergence of government-operated online gambling platforms in some provinces, while private operators are allowed in others. In Mexico, on the other hand, online gambling regulations are still evolving, creating opportunities for both domestic and international operators to enter the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Online Gambling market in NAFTA is also supported by underlying macroeconomic factors. The region has a large population with high internet penetration rates, providing a sizable customer base for online gambling operators. Additionally, the increasing disposable income and changing lifestyles of consumers have contributed to the growth of the market. As the economy continues to recover and technology advances, the Online Gambling market in NAFTA is expected to further expand 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.
