Recovery from pandemic declines to drive growth in near term

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US nominal personal consumption expenditures (PCE) on gambling are forecast to rise 2.3% per year through 2026, according to Gambling: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Spending in real (inflation-adjusted) terms is expected to rise 1.1% annually. Advances will stem from increases in population and disposable personal income, as well as a continued rebound from pandemic-related declines. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic drove an increase in participation in online forms of gambling. It is likely this trend will continue to some degree, particularly as mobile gambling apps and websites become more pervasive. At the same time, increasingly permissive laws at the federal, state, and local levels will support consumer participation in gambling. However, restrictions are expected to persist in many areas.

US gambling establishment revenues in nominal terms are forecast to see annual increases of 3.6% through 2026. Underlying these advances will be growth in disposable personal income and the increasing availability of local and online gambling outlets. In addition, gambling establishments will continue to enhance their other service offerings, such as dining, entertainment, and lodging, as a means of boosting revenue. However, competitive pressure from other entertainment providers will continue to challenge the industry.

These and other key insights are featured in Gambling: United States. This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) on gambling in both nominal and real (inflation-adjusted) US dollars. This report also forecasts US revenues for gambling establishments in US dollars to 2022 and 2026. Total spending in nominal and real terms is segmented in terms of:

casino
lottery
pari-mutuel

Total revenues are segmented by establishment type as follows:

casino hotels
standalone casinos
racetracks
other gambling establishments, such as bingo parlors, card rooms, and coin-operated gambling concessions

To illustrate historical trends, total personal consumption expenditures, total revenue, and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021.
