    Customer preferences:
    In Iraq, there is a growing demand for live music events, with a particular interest in international artists and diverse genres. Music enthusiasts in Iraq are increasingly seeking opportunities to experience live performances and connect with their favorite artists. This trend is fueled by the desire for cultural exchange and the chance to witness world-class performances in their own country.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Music Events market in Iraq is the increasing number of international artists and bands performing in the country. This trend is driven by the improving security situation and the growing recognition of Iraq as a potential market for music events. International artists are attracted by the opportunity to tap into a new and enthusiastic audience, as well as the chance to explore the rich cultural heritage of Iraq. Another trend is the diversification of music genres in the market. While traditional Iraqi music still holds a special place in the hearts of the local population, there is a growing interest in Western and other international music genres. This trend is a reflection of the changing tastes and preferences of the younger generation, who are more exposed to global music through the internet and social media.

Furthermore, the growing economy of Iraq has also contributed to the growth of the Music Events market. As disposable incomes rise and consumer spending power increases, more people are willing to spend money on entertainment and cultural experiences, including music events.

In conclusion, the Music Events market in Iraq is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, 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.
