The Lottery market in Morocco has experienced significant growth and development due to several factors, including changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.
Customer preferences: Moroccan customers have shown a growing interest in lottery games due to their simplicity and the potential for substantial winnings. The convenience of purchasing lottery tickets online has further boosted this interest, as it allows customers to participate without having to visit physical locations. The increasing penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity has made online lottery platforms more accessible, attracting a broader audience. Additionally, the rise of social media and online influencers has played a role in promoting lottery games, exposing customers to various promotions and jackpot announcements through these channels.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Moroccan lottery market is the expansion of online lottery platforms. These platforms offer a variety of lottery games, including national and international lotteries, scratch cards, and instant win games. This trend has created a competitive landscape, with operators striving to attract customers by offering larger jackpots, better odds, and enticing promotions. Another notable trend is the integration of technology in lottery operations, such as mobile apps that allow users to buy tickets, check results, and receive notifications about upcoming draws. This technological advancement has made the lottery experience more engaging and user-friendly.
Local special circumstances: Morocco's large and youthful population has significantly contributed to the growth of the lottery market. With a high percentage of the population under the age of 35, there is a strong demand for entertainment and recreational activities, including lottery games. The cultural acceptance of gambling, including lotteries, as a form of entertainment has also supported market growth. Moreover, the government's efforts to regulate and oversee lottery operations have created a more secure and transparent environment, boosting customer confidence in the market.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Moroccan economy has experienced steady growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income among the population. This has allowed more individuals to participate in lottery games and allocate a portion of their income towards this form of entertainment. Additionally, the high unemployment rate, especially among the youth, has led some individuals to view lottery games as a potential opportunity for financial gain. The government's initiatives to promote digital financial inclusion have also played a role in the growth of the online lottery market by encouraging more people to use digital payment methods.
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.
