    The Matchmaking market in Algeria has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing acceptance of online dating platforms. Algerian singles are increasingly turning to matchmaking services to find compatible partners, as traditional methods of meeting potential partners become less common.

Additionally, these platforms often use advanced algorithms and matching techniques to help users find compatible partners, further enhancing the matchmaking experience. One of the key trends in the Matchmaking market in Algeria is the rise of niche dating platforms. These platforms cater to specific groups of people, such as religious or cultural communities, and provide a more targeted approach to matchmaking. Algerian singles are increasingly seeking platforms that cater to their specific needs and preferences, as they believe that these platforms offer a higher chance of finding a compatible partner.

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. 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 and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.
