    Analyst Opinion

    The Cricket Media market in Portugal is facing subdued growth due to various factors, such as the decline in consumer interest and the lack of convenient online services. Despite being a part of the thriving global Sports market, this specific segment is struggling to reach its potential.

    Customer preferences:
    In Portugal, there has been a gradual increase in the popularity of cricket, with a growing number of clubs and leagues being created. This has led to a rise in demand for cricket media, such as live streaming and match highlights, as fans are keen to follow their teams and players. With the rise of social media and online platforms, there has also been a shift towards digital content and engagement with the sport. Additionally, with the younger generation increasingly consuming content on digital platforms, there is a growing trend towards creating more interactive and engaging content for the cricket market.

    Trends in the market:
    In Portugal, the Cricket Media Market has been experiencing a shift towards digital platforms, with the rise of online streaming services and social media platforms to access live matches and updates. This trend has been driven by the increasing availability of mobile devices and high-speed internet, making it easier for fans to engage with the sport. In the Cricket Market as a whole, there has also been a growing interest in video content, with many players and teams creating their own YouTube channels and sharing behind-the-scenes footage. These trends are significant for both media companies and brands looking to reach the cricket audience, as it offers a more direct and interactive way to connect with fans. As this trend continues to grow, it is likely to have implications for traditional broadcasting channels and advertising strategies, as viewers increasingly turn to the internet for their cricket coverage. This presents an opportunity for industry stakeholders to adapt and embrace digital platforms to keep up with the changing landscape of the sports media market.

    Local special circumstances:
    In Portugal, the Cricket Market within the Sports Market has yet to gain significant traction. However, with the rising popularity of cricket among the local population and the countrys geographical proximity to cricket-playing countries like Spain, the market has the potential to grow. Additionally, Portugals strong digital infrastructure and high internet penetration rates could create opportunities for digital platforms and streaming services targeting cricket fans. On the other hand, the lack of a strong national cricket team and limited media coverage of the sport could pose challenges. This unique combination of circumstances highlights the need for creative marketing strategies and partnerships to tap into the potential of the Portuguese cricket market.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Cricket Media Market within the Sports Market is greatly impacted by macroeconomic factors in Portugal. The countrys economic health and fiscal policies greatly influence the performance of the market. Additionally, global economic trends, such as shifting consumer preferences and investment patterns, can greatly impact the market. A strong and stable economy along with favorable regulatory environments can lead to faster market growth, while challenges such as regulatory barriers and limited funding can hinder growth. Furthermore, factors such as the countrys demographics, such as the prevalence of cricket as a popular sport and the size of its aging population, can also play a role in shaping the market. In order to thrive in this market, companies must closely monitor and adjust to the macroeconomic landscape in Portugal.

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.
