Analyst Opinion

The Soccer Media market in North America is currently experiencing minimal growth due to various factors such as low consumer interest and limited online presence. Despite efforts to increase awareness, the market remains stagnant.

Customer preferences:
With the rise of social media and digital platforms, the soccer media landscape has undergone a transformation, with a growing demand for immediate and personalized content. This has led to the development of fan-focused platforms, as well as the rise of online streaming services for live games. Additionally, there has been a shift towards interactive and immersive experiences, such as virtual reality and augmented reality, allowing fans to engage with their favorite teams and players in new ways. This trend is influenced by the desire for real-time updates and deeper connections with the sport, driven by a younger, digitally-savvy audience.

Trends in the market:
In North America, the Soccer Media Market is seeing a surge in live streaming services for soccer matches, catering to the increasing demand for on-the-go viewing options. Additionally, there is a growing trend of social media platforms being utilized for real-time updates, highlights, and discussions related to soccer. This trend is significant as it provides a more interactive and immediate experience for fans, with potential implications of increased fan engagement and potential sponsorship opportunities for industry stakeholders. In the future, we can expect to see further integration of social media and live streaming services in the Soccer Media Market, as well as potential collaborations between media companies and social media platforms to enhance the viewing experience for fans.

Local special circumstances:
In North America, the Soccer Media Market is heavily influenced by the popularity and dominance of other sports such as basketball, American football, and baseball. This creates a highly competitive environment, with soccer struggling to gain traction among the mainstream audience and media coverage. Additionally, the market is affected by various cultural preferences and viewing habits, with some regions showing a stronger interest in soccer compared to others. The regulatory landscape also plays a crucial role, as the lack of government support and investment in the sport can hinder its growth and development in certain areas.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Soccer Media Market within the Sports Market in North America is primarily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as technological advancements, regulatory support, and consumer spending habits. As technology continues to evolve and become more integrated into everyday life, there is a growing demand for digital media and streaming services, which in turn drives growth in the Soccer Media Market. Additionally, favorable economic conditions and increased disposable income in North American countries have a significant impact on consumer spending, contributing to the growth of the market. However, fluctuations in the global economic landscape and changes in fiscal policies can also have an impact on the overall performance of the Soccer Media Market in this region. It is important for companies operating in this market to closely monitor these macroeconomic factors and adapt their strategies accordingly.

Methodology

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.
