The soccer media market in Guyana has seen limited growth due to factors such as lack of digital infrastructure, limited access to information, and lower priority for sports coverage. Nonetheless, rising interest in soccer and emerging online platforms are expected to drive growth in the future.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Guyana are increasingly turning to digital platforms for their soccer consumption, with online streaming and social media becoming popular channels for accessing matches and updates. This trend is fueled by the countrys young demographic, who are tech-savvy and value convenience and accessibility. Additionally, the emergence of local sports media outlets and fan communities on social media has also contributed to the growing interest and engagement in soccer among the younger generation. As connectivity and digital literacy continue to improve in the country, the trend towards digital soccer consumption is expected to continue.
Trends in the market: In Guyana, the Soccer Media Market is experiencing a shift towards online streaming and digital platforms for soccer content. This trend is driven by the increasing access to high-speed internet and the proliferation of smartphones in the country. The trajectory of this trend is expected to continue, with more companies investing in online platforms to reach a wider audience. This is significant for industry stakeholders as it opens up opportunities for advertising and sponsorship revenue. However, it also poses a threat to traditional broadcasters who may struggle to compete with the convenience and affordability offered by online streaming. Additionally, the rise of digital media may also impact the distribution of revenue among stakeholders, with a shift towards more direct-to-consumer models. This trend highlights the need for companies to adapt to the changing landscape of the soccer media market in Guyana, as well as the potential implications for revenue and distribution models for industry stakeholders.
Local special circumstances: In Guyana, the Soccer Media Market is heavily influenced by the countrys small population and limited access to internet and media infrastructure. Additionally, the strong cultural significance of cricket in the country leads to a smaller audience and demand for soccer. This unique set of circumstances has resulted in a smaller and more niche market for soccer media in Guyana, with different strategies required to reach and engage with consumers. Similarly, in other Caribbean countries, the influence of cricket also impacts the demand for soccer media and creates a distinct market within the larger sports media industry.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Soccer Media Market within the Sports Market in Guyana is largely influenced by macroeconomic factors such as economic stability, consumer spending, and regulatory policies. As the countrys economy continues to grow and stabilize, there is a rise in disposable income and consumer spending, leading to an increase in demand for sports media content and access to soccer games. Additionally, favorable regulatory policies and investments in sports infrastructure play a crucial role in driving the market forward. However, limited government funding and occasional political instability can hinder the growth of the market in the long run. Furthermore, global economic trends and fluctuations in currency exchange rates can also impact the purchasing power of consumers and, therefore, the market performance in Guyana.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2B revenues. Figures are based on media spending from businesses to several clubs. That also includes the revenues from advertising as this is part of media and broadcasting contracts the individual clubs have with their respective leagues.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined through a top-down approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. 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.
