    Analyst Opinion

    The Baseball market in Bangladesh has been seeing limited growth, impacted by factors such as low awareness and lack of investment in infrastructure. The sub-markets, including Baseball Media, Merchandise, and Ticket Sales, face challenges in reaching a wider audience and increasing revenues. With proper investment and promotion, there is potential for growth in this market.

    Customer preferences:
    In Bangladesh, there has been a noticeable increase in the popularity of baseball, with more youth and adults participating in the sport. This can be attributed to the rise in disposable income and exposure to international baseball leagues through television and social media. Additionally, consumers are increasingly looking for athleisure clothing options that provide style, comfort, and functionality, leading to a rise in sales of baseball-themed apparel. This trend is indicative of a growing preference for casual and comfortable clothing that reflects an active and sporty lifestyle.

    Trends in the market:
    In Bangladesh, the Baseball market is seeing a surge in interest, with more young people taking up the sport. This trend is significant as it indicates the potential for growth in the market and the development of a new fan base. Additionally, there is a rise in the use of technology, with increased access to online resources and data-driven training programs. This could have implications for industry stakeholders, as it provides opportunities for collaborations and partnerships with technology companies to enhance the overall experience for players and fans.

    Local special circumstances:
    In Bangladesh, the Baseball Market within the Sports Market is influenced by the countrys love for cricket, which is often seen as a national sport. However, the popularity of baseball is steadily growing, driven by an increased interest in Western sports and the countrys growing GDP. Geographically, baseball has a strong presence in the Chittagong Division, where the majority of the countrys baseball teams are located. Additionally, cultural factors, such as the emphasis on teamwork and discipline in Bangladeshi culture, contribute to the growth of the sport. Regulatory circumstances also play a role, as the Bangladeshi government has taken initiatives to promote and support the development of baseball in the country. This unique combination of local factors differentiates the Baseball Market in Bangladesh from other markets and plays a significant role in shaping its dynamics.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Baseball Market within the Sports Market market in Bangladesh is heavily impacted by macroeconomic factors such as the countrys economic growth, government policies, and investment opportunities. With a growing economy and increasing per capita income, there is a rise in disposable income and a growing middle class that has a higher propensity to spend on sports and leisure activities. Additionally, the increasing popularity and fan base of cricket, the national sport of Bangladesh, has also opened up opportunities for growth in the Baseball Market. Government initiatives to promote sports and the increasing availability of sporting facilities have also contributed to the growth of the market. However, challenges such as inadequate funding and infrastructure still hinder the markets full potential.

As a basis for evaluating markets, 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., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per ticket, price on sport goods). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption. 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 or linear forecasting, as it fits the development of either strong growing markets or more sophistacted and saturated markets, such as soccer in Europe.

    Additional notes:

    The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered at a country-specific level. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. 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). We also account for the different cycles of international tournaments, such as world cups or continent cups. Consumer Insights data is reweighted for representativeness.
