Dublin, Aug. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 'Sports Betting Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025' report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The sports betting market was valued at US$85.047 billion in 2019.
The sports betting market is projected to witness considerable growth primarily on account of the inclination of the governments of numerous countries towards the legalization of sports betting. Furthermore, the rising penetration of various legal online platforms in some countries is also further supplementing the sports betting market growth in the near future.
The market is also poised to grow on account of the rising popularity of international sports events around the globe coupled with the increasing popularity of high-end sports such as cricket, soccer, baseball has gained a lot of traction in the past years, which has led to a decent increase in the sponsorships for clubs, teams, players.
Additionally, the rising investments by numerous sports organizations in marketing and promotional activities have led to increased investments by major betting companies in providing sponsorships for sports teams around the globe. Thus, the rising commercialization of sports events is considered to be a key factor that is expected to positively impact the market growth during the next five years.
The rising consumer expectations have led to the constant participation of key players of the market in the form of partnerships, collaborations, agreements, and R&D for the launch of various platforms to cater to the rising consumer expectations. For instance, recently in June 2020, Sportech PLC a leading market player in the gaming technology industry of the world announced its strategic partnership with a French gaming operator ZeTurf, the aim of this partnership was to deliver attractive and alternative options for betting on French racing.
Similarly, in May 2020, the company announced a successful launch of Tote Betting services in Moscow for client Pari Engineering Rus. Furthermore, the growing partnerships between high end-resorts and casinos with leading market players for availing their services also shows the potential for the market to grow in the near future.
For example, in February 2020, William Hill, a leading sports betting company entered into a long-term partnership agreement with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB), a federally recognized Indian tribe for exclusively providing online sports betting and online casino gaming throughout Michigan. Also, during the same month, the company also entered into a partnership with CBS Sports with an aim to increase the reach to millions of new sports fans and fantasy players by extending its leadership in sports betting content.
Moreover, in February 2019, Churchill Downs Incorporated entered into a partnership agreement with Golden Nugget Casino for the launch of its BetaAmerica online real-money sports betting and online casino platform in New Jersey.
However, the sports betting market may be restrained by the fact that still sports betting is considered to be an illegal activity in some parts of the world. Also, the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus is expected to be a major factor inhibiting the market growth during the short run as the intense outbreak has led to enforcement of directives by the WHO such as social distancing and quarantine measure in almost every country of the world.
This has led to the temporary suspension or cancellation of all the major sports events at international, regional, and national levels that include, football, hockey, marathons, cricket, basketball, and more. This is considered to be one of the prime factors that is projected to hamper the market growth for the next ten to eleven months.
Growing legalization is offering lucrative opportunities
One of the major factors that is propelling the market growth opportunities is the rising government initiatives for the legalization of sports betting with an aim for the generation of revenue. For instance, in 2018 sports betting for the first time was legalized in New Jersey. Furthermore, the inclination of governments of various developing countries such as India and Brazil among others to tap the potential of revenue that the sports betting industry holds is considered to be a prime opportunity for the market to grow in the near future. For example, in 2018, the Law Commission of India stated in its report the recommendations for legalizing sports betting in the country.
