Analyst Opinion

The Online Casinos market in Mexico has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
In Mexico, there has been a shift in customer preferences towards online gambling and entertainment. The convenience and accessibility of online casinos have attracted a growing number of Mexican customers who are looking for a convenient way to enjoy their favorite casino games. Additionally, the younger generation in Mexico has shown a greater interest in online gambling, as they are more tech-savvy and accustomed to digital experiences.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the online casino market in Mexico is the increasing popularity of mobile gambling. With the widespread adoption of smartphones and improved mobile internet connectivity, Mexican customers are now able to access online casinos anytime and anywhere. This trend has been further accelerated by the development of mobile casino apps, which offer a seamless and immersive gambling experience on smartphones and tablets. Another trend in the market is the emergence of live dealer games. Live dealer games allow players to interact with real-life dealers and other players in real time, creating a more immersive and social gambling experience. This trend has gained traction in Mexico, as it combines the convenience of online gambling with the authenticity of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos.

Local special circumstances:
Mexico's distinctive cultural backdrop and regulatory landscape have significantly shaped the trajectory of the online casino market. While the country maintains a regulatory framework for gambling, certain permissible forms such as sports betting and lotteries have dominated the scene. However, alongside the popularity of these traditional gambling avenues, there has been a noticeable surge in the demand for alternative entertainment options, particularly online casinos. This evolving consumer preference underscores the dynamic nature of Mexico's gambling market, where digital platforms are increasingly becoming prominent players in the industry.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The expansion of the online casino market in Mexico is not only influenced by cultural and regulatory factors but also by significant macroeconomic drivers. Mexico boasts a sizable population with substantial disposable income, creating an ideal environment for the flourishing of the online gambling sector. Moreover, there is growing governmental interest in exploring more comprehensive regulations for online gambling, potentially paving the way for further growth and legitimacy within the online casino market.

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.
