Customer preferences:
Customers in Finland have shown a strong preference for online sports betting, as it offers convenience and a wide range of betting options. The popularity of online sports betting can be attributed to the ease of access to betting platforms and the ability to place bets from anywhere at any time. Additionally, the availability of live streaming and real-time updates on sports events has further enhanced the betting experience for customers.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the online sports betting market in Finland is the increasing adoption of mobile betting. With the widespread use of smartphones and the availability of mobile betting apps, customers can now place bets on their favorite sports events on the go. This trend has significantly contributed to the growth of the online sports betting market in Finland, as it has made betting more accessible and convenient for customers. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of in-play betting. In-play betting allows customers to place bets on live sports events as they unfold. This real-time betting experience has gained traction among customers in Finland, as it adds an element of excitement and engagement to the betting process. The availability of live streaming and real-time updates has further fueled the demand for in-play betting in the country.

Finland has a strong sports culture, with a particular emphasis on ice hockey, football, and skiing. The popularity of these sports has contributed to the growth of the online sports betting market in the country. Customers in Finland are highly engaged in sports events and often place bets on their favorite teams or athletes. This local special circumstance has created a favorable environment for the development of the online sports betting market in Finland.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the online sports betting market in Finland can also be attributed to favorable macroeconomic factors. Finland has a high internet penetration rate, with a large percentage of the population having access to the internet. This has provided a strong foundation for the growth of online services, including online sports betting. Additionally, Finland has a stable economy and a high standard of living, which has increased the disposable income of customers. This, in turn, has led to an increase in spending on leisure activities such as online sports betting.

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.
