Analyst Opinion

The Online Sports Betting market in Southeast Asia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
One of the main reasons for the growth of the Online Sports Betting market in Southeast Asia is the increasing popularity of sports in the region. Southeast Asians have a strong passion for sports, and online sports betting provides them with a convenient and exciting way to engage with their favorite sports events. Additionally, the rise of mobile technology has made it easier for people in Southeast Asia to access online sports betting platforms, further fueling the market's growth.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Online Sports Betting market in Southeast Asia is the increasing adoption of live betting. Live betting allows customers to place bets on sporting events as they unfold in real-time, adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the betting experience. This trend has been driven by advancements in technology, such as faster internet speeds and improved streaming capabilities, which enable customers to follow the action and make informed betting decisions. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of e-sports betting. E-sports, or competitive video gaming, has gained a massive following in Southeast Asia, particularly among the younger generation. Online sports betting platforms have recognized the potential of e-sports and have started offering betting markets for popular e-sports tournaments. This has attracted a new segment of customers to the market and contributed to its overall growth.

Local special circumstances:
One of the unique aspects of the Online Sports Betting market in Southeast Asia is the diverse regulatory landscape across different countries in the region. While some countries have legalized and regulated online sports betting, others have strict laws prohibiting it. This has created a fragmented market, with customers in certain countries having limited access to online sports betting platforms. However, there are signs of progress, with some countries considering legalizing and regulating the market to capture the potential economic benefits.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growing middle class and increasing disposable incomes in Southeast Asia have also played a role in the development of the Online Sports Betting market. As more people in the region have access to discretionary income, they are more likely to engage in leisure activities such as sports betting. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and digitalization of Southeast Asian economies have created a conducive environment for the growth of online sports betting, with more people having access to the necessary infrastructure and technology. In conclusion, the Online Sports Betting market in Southeast Asia is experiencing significant growth due to the region's strong passion for sports, the increasing adoption of mobile technology, and the popularity of live betting and e-sports. However, the market is also influenced by the diverse regulatory landscape across different countries in the region. Nevertheless, the growing middle class and underlying macroeconomic factors are expected to continue driving the market's growth in the coming years.

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) 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, the urban population, the 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.
