With the widespread adoption of smartphones and improved internet connectivity, individuals can now easily access a variety of gambling options from the comfort of their homes. This eliminates the need to visit physical gambling establishments, making online gambling a preferred choice for many.

Trends in the market: One notable trend in the online gambling market in Mexico is the proliferation of new and innovative gambling products and services. Online casinos, sports betting platforms, and virtual reality gambling experiences are becoming more prevalent, attracting a broader audience and enhancing the overall gambling experience. Additionally, the integration of social elements into online gambling platforms, such as live chat and multiplayer games, caters to consumers seeking social interactions while gambling online.

Local special circumstances: Mexico's long history of gambling, coupled with its vibrant culture, has contributed to the growth of the online gambling market. The familiarity and acceptance of gambling among the Mexican population have facilitated the transition to online platforms, expanding the reach of gambling activities to a wider audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the online gambling market in Mexico is also influenced by various macroeconomic factors. Mexico's high internet penetration rate and stable economy provide a solid foundation for the market's expansion.

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.
