Analyst Opinion

The Casual Dating market in North America has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing acceptance of casual relationships. Customer preferences in North America have shifted towards more casual and non-committal relationships, with many individuals choosing to prioritize their personal freedom and independence. This has led to a rise in the popularity of casual dating platforms, which provide a convenient and accessible way for people to connect with others who share similar interests and desires. One of the key trends in the North American Casual Dating market is the increasing use of mobile dating apps. These apps have revolutionized the way people meet and interact, offering a convenient and discreet platform for casual dating. The ease of use and wide range of features offered by these apps have made them extremely popular among North American consumers, particularly among younger demographics. Another trend in the market is the growing focus on niche dating platforms. As the Casual Dating market becomes more saturated, consumers are seeking out platforms that cater to their specific interests and preferences. This has led to the rise of niche dating apps that target specific demographics or interests, such as LGBTQ+ dating apps or apps for people with specific hobbies or lifestyles. In addition to changing customer preferences, there are also local special circumstances that have contributed to the growth of the Casual Dating market in North America. The region has a large and diverse population, with a high percentage of single individuals. This creates a favorable environment for casual dating, as there are plenty of opportunities for people to connect with others who are seeking similar experiences. Furthermore, North America has a culture that is generally more open and accepting of casual relationships compared to other regions. This cultural acceptance has played a significant role in the growth of the Casual Dating market, as it has reduced the stigma associated with casual dating and made it more socially acceptable. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also contributed to the development of the Casual Dating market in North America. The region has a strong economy and high disposable income levels, which has allowed consumers to spend more on leisure activities and experiences. This has created a demand for casual dating services, as individuals are willing to invest in their personal lives and experiences. Overall, the Casual Dating market in North America has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, the increasing use of mobile dating apps, the focus on niche platforms, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As these trends continue to evolve, it is likely that the market will continue to grow and evolve to meet the changing needs and preferences of consumers in the region.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. 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, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
