Analyst Opinion

The Online Lottery market in Southern Africa has been experiencing significant growth in recent years. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors have all played a role in driving this development. Customer preferences in Southern Africa have shifted towards online lottery platforms due to their convenience and accessibility. With the increasing penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity in the region, more people are opting to participate in lottery games online. This trend is also fueled by the desire for anonymity and the ability to play at any time and from anywhere. Trends in the market indicate that online lottery platforms are becoming more sophisticated and user-friendly. Companies are investing in advanced technology to create seamless and immersive gaming experiences. This includes features such as interactive gameplay, real-time notifications, and secure payment options. Additionally, there is a growing trend of online lottery platforms offering a wide variety of games to cater to different customer preferences. Local special circumstances in Southern Africa have also contributed to the development of the online lottery market. Traditional lottery games have long been popular in the region, and the transition to online platforms has been a natural progression. Furthermore, the lack of physical lottery retailers in some areas has made online platforms the only viable option for many consumers. This has created a niche market for online lottery providers to tap into. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also played a role in the growth of the online lottery market in Southern Africa. The region has experienced economic growth and an expanding middle class, resulting in increased disposable income. This has led to higher levels of discretionary spending, including participation in online lottery games. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online platforms as people sought entertainment options from the safety of their homes. In conclusion, the Online Lottery market in Southern Africa has been growing due to customer preferences for convenience and accessibility, trends towards more sophisticated online platforms, local special circumstances such as the lack of physical lottery retailers, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As these factors continue to influence the market, the online lottery industry is expected to further expand in Southern Africa.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) 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, the urban population, the 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.
