Analyst Opinion

The Online Casinos market in Central America has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Central America are increasingly turning to online casinos for their gambling needs due to the convenience and accessibility they offer. Online casinos provide a wide range of games that can be played from the comfort of one's own home or on the go, eliminating the need to visit physical casinos. Additionally, online casinos often offer attractive bonuses and promotions, further incentivizing customers to choose them over traditional brick-and-mortar establishments.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Central American online casinos market is the increasing adoption of mobile gambling. With the proliferation of smartphones and improved internet connectivity, more and more customers are using their mobile devices to access online casinos. This trend is expected to continue as mobile technology continues to advance and become more affordable. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of live dealer games. Live dealer games allow customers to play against real dealers in real-time, providing a more immersive and interactive gambling experience. This trend is driven by the desire for a more authentic casino experience and is expected to contribute to the growth of the online casinos market in Central America.

Local special circumstances:
Central America is home to several countries with a significant tourism industry, which has contributed to the growth of the online casinos market. Many tourists visit the region for its natural beauty and cultural attractions, and online casinos provide an additional form of entertainment for these visitors. Furthermore, some countries in Central America have favorable regulations and tax policies for online gambling, attracting international operators to establish a presence in the region.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the online casinos market in Central America is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Economic growth and rising disposable incomes in the region have increased the spending power of consumers, allowing them to allocate more funds towards leisure activities such as online gambling. Additionally, the region's relatively young population and high internet penetration rates contribute to the growing customer base for online casinos. In conclusion, the Online Casinos market in Central America is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, such as the increasing adoption of mobile gambling and the popularity of live dealer games. Local special circumstances, such as the region's tourism industry and favorable regulations, also contribute to the market's development. Underlying macroeconomic factors, including economic growth and rising disposable incomes, further support the growth of the online casinos market in Central America.

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.
