The Online Sports Betting market in Mexico has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.
Customer preferences: Mexican consumers have shown a growing interest in online sports betting, as it provides them with convenience and accessibility. The younger generation, in particular, is more inclined towards online platforms for their betting activities. The ease of placing bets through mobile apps and the availability of a wide range of sports events to bet on have attracted a large number of customers to the online sports betting market in Mexico. Additionally, the popularity of international sports events, such as the World Cup and boxing matches, has also contributed to the increasing demand for online sports betting.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the online sports betting market in Mexico is the increasing adoption of live betting. Live betting allows customers to place bets during the course of a sports event, adding an element of excitement and engagement. This trend has been fueled by advancements in technology, such as faster internet connections and real-time data updates, which enable customers to make informed decisions and place bets in real-time. Another trend in the market is the emergence of esports betting. Esports, or competitive video gaming, has gained immense popularity in Mexico, especially among the younger generation. As a result, online sports betting platforms have started offering betting options for popular esports tournaments, attracting a new segment of customers to the market.
Local special circumstances: In Mexico, the sports betting market faces unique challenges and opportunities due to local regulatory frameworks and cultural factors. Additionally, the market is heavily influenced by popular sports like soccer, boxing, and baseball, reflecting the nation's sporting culture. However, concerns over match-fixing and corruption pose significant challenges to the integrity of the industry, prompting stricter regulations and enforcement measures. Despite these challenges, Mexico's large population and growing middle class present a lucrative market for sports betting operators willing to invest in compliance and consumer trust-building initiatives.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Mexico's growing economy and increasing disposable income levels have also contributed to the growth of the online sports betting market. With a stable economy and a large population, Mexico offers a lucrative market for online sports betting operators. Additionally, the country's improving internet infrastructure and high smartphone penetration rate have made it easier for customers to access online betting platforms, further driving market growth.

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.
