    Analyst Opinion

    The Online Dating market in Sudan has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the increasing popularity of online dating platforms. Customer preferences in Sudan have shifted towards online dating platforms due to their convenience and accessibility. With the advent of smartphones and improved internet connectivity, more Sudanese individuals are turning to online dating to meet potential partners. This trend is in line with the global market, where online dating has become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the key trends in the Sudanese online dating market is the rise of niche dating platforms. These platforms cater to specific interests or communities, allowing individuals to find like-minded partners. This trend reflects the growing demand for personalized and specialized online dating experiences, as users seek to connect with others who share their values and interests. Another trend in the market is the increased use of mobile dating apps. Mobile apps offer a more convenient and user-friendly experience, allowing individuals to connect with potential partners on-the-go.

In addition to these customer preferences, there are also local special circumstances that contribute to the development of the online dating market in Sudan. The country's conservative social norms and limited opportunities for socializing in traditional settings have led individuals to seek alternative ways to meet potential partners.

Underlying macroeconomic factors also play a role in the growth of the online dating market in Sudan. The country's young and growing population, coupled with increasing internet penetration rates, creates a favorable environment for the development of online dating platforms. Additionally, the rising urbanization and changing lifestyles in Sudan have contributed to the increasing acceptance of online dating as a viable way to meet potential partners.

    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.
