    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Dominican Republic have shown a strong interest in attending and participating in sport events. The country's passion for sports, particularly baseball and basketball, has contributed to the increasing demand for sport events. Dominican Republic has a rich sporting culture and has produced many talented athletes who have achieved international recognition. This has created a sense of pride among the local population and has fueled their enthusiasm for attending and supporting sport events.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the major trends in the sport events market in Dominican Republic is the increasing popularity of international sporting events. The country has successfully hosted several high-profile events, such as the Caribbean Series baseball tournament and the FIBA AmeriCup basketball championship. These events have attracted a large number of visitors from both domestic and international markets, boosting the local economy and promoting the country as a sports tourism destination. The success of these events has also encouraged the government and private sector to invest in the development of sports infrastructure, further enhancing the country's capacity to host major sporting events. Another trend in the market is the growing interest in alternative and niche sports. While traditional sports like baseball and basketball continue to dominate the market, there is an increasing demand for sports such as surfing, kiteboarding, and mixed martial arts. This trend can be attributed to the younger generation's desire for unique and adrenaline-pumping experiences. As a result, there has been a rise in the number of competitions and events catering to these niche sports, attracting both local and international participants.

    Local special circumstances:
    The geographical location of Dominican Republic, with its beautiful beaches and favorable climate, has also contributed to the growth of the sport events market. The country's natural assets make it an ideal location for outdoor sports and recreational activities. This has led to the emergence of sports tourism, with visitors coming to the country specifically to participate in or witness sport events. The government has recognized the potential of sports tourism and has implemented policies to promote the sector, including the development of sports complexes and the improvement of transportation infrastructure.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the sport events market in Dominican Republic can be attributed to several underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced stable economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in an increase in disposable income and leisure spending. This has allowed more people to afford tickets to sport events and participate in sports-related activities. Additionally, the government has been actively promoting sports as a means of promoting health and wellness, leading to increased participation in sports and related events. In conclusion, the sport events market in Dominican Republic is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for attending and participating in sport events, the increasing popularity of international sporting events, the growing interest in alternative and niche sports, the country's favorable geographical location, and the underlying macroeconomic factors such as stable economic growth and government support.

    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.
