    The Matchmaking market in Panama has been experiencing significant growth in recent years. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors have all contributed to this development. Customer preferences in Panama have shifted towards online matchmaking platforms. With the increasing use of smartphones and the internet, more people are turning to online platforms to find their perfect match. These platforms offer convenience, a wide range of options, and the ability to connect with potential partners from the comfort of one's own home. This shift in customer preferences has led to the proliferation of online matchmaking services in the country.

However, this perception has changed as more people recognize the benefits of using matchmaking services. Matchmaking is now viewed as a legitimate and efficient way to find a compatible partner, leading to an increase in demand for these services. Local special circumstances in Panama have also contributed to the growth of the matchmaking market.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income. As a result, more people are willing to invest in matchmaking services as they see it as a worthwhile investment in their personal lives. In conclusion, the Matchmaking market in Panama has been growing due to shifting customer preferences towards online platforms, a growing acceptance of matchmaking services, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    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.

    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 and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
