    Analyst Opinion

    The market for Basketball in Russia has been experiencing modest growth due to factors such as the increasing popularity of digital media for sports, consumer spending on team merchandise, and ticket sales for major games. However, subdued growth is influenced by economic factors such as declining disposable income and the impact of COVID-19 on live events.

    Customer preferences:
    The popularity of basketball in Russia has been steadily rising in recent years, with a notable surge in interest from younger generations. This trend can be attributed to the growing presence of social media and online streaming platforms, which have made it easier for fans to access and engage with the sport. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on physical activity and healthy lifestyles in Russian society has further fueled the demand for basketball, as it is seen as a fun and accessible way to stay fit. As a result, we can expect to see a rise in the use of digital and social media platforms by teams and brands to engage with and attract this growing basketball market.

    Trends in the market:
    In Russia, the basketball market is experiencing a rise in popularity with an increasing number of youth programs and local leagues being established. This trend is significant as it highlights a growing interest in basketball, particularly among the younger population. As a result, there is a potential for a larger fan base and future market growth. In addition, the market is seeing an increase in digital platforms for game streaming and fan engagement, creating new opportunities for revenue and fan interaction. This trend is expected to continue, making digital innovation a key factor for stakeholders in the basketball market in Russia.

    Local special circumstances:
    In Russia, basketball has a strong presence due to the countrys love for team sports and high participation rates in youth basketball programs. Despite this, the market faces challenges such as limited government funding and competition from other popular sports like ice hockey. Additionally, the geographical size of the country presents challenges for teams to travel and compete, and cultural traditions also play a role in shaping the market. These factors, along with regulatory policies, influence the growth and development of the basketball market in Russia.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    One of the major macroeconomic factors influencing the Basketball Market in Russia is the countrys economic health. As a major global economy, Russias performance greatly affects the Sports market, including basketball. Factors such as GDP growth, inflation rates, and consumer spending have a direct impact on the purchasing power of Russian consumers, which in turn affects the demand for basketball products and services. Additionally, fiscal policies and government initiatives related to sports and entertainment can also play a significant role in shaping the market landscape. These may include tax incentives for businesses in the sports industry, investment in infrastructure for sporting events, and funding for youth and amateur sports programs. As such, it is crucial for companies operating in the Basketball Market in Russia to closely monitor and adapt to shifts in the countrys economic climate in order to remain competitive and capitalize on potential opportunities.

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.

    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.

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.
