Widespread Adoption of Smartphones and Increased Ad Opportunities Will Boost the Global Fantasy Sports Market: TechNavio


TechNavio, a tech-focused research firm, has published a new report on the Global Fantasy Sports Market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.62 percent from 2014-2019.

According to the latest report from TechNavio, the increased adoption of smartphones is expected to have a huge impact on the Global Fantasy Sports Market during the forecast period.

"Smartphones enable end-users to play fantasy sports irrespective of location and time. This has led to the increased adoption of smartphones and is also expected to fuel more end-user participation in fantasy sports in the near future, which will ultimately drive market growth," says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.

Furthermore, the report emphasizes many global brands like Toyota, Unilever and Hilton, who use fantasy sports to market their products. These global brands use fantasy sites and apps to target high-income male customers falling in the age group of 25-50 years, as this is a difficult grup to reach solely through TV commercials.



"Recently, Unilever launched its Dove Men+Care fantasy football hub, which grants consumers exclusive access to fantasy football suggestions and advice from ESPN (News - Alert) analysts. Toyota and Hilton have also launched ad campaigns that tie in with fantasy teams," says Ghaus.

TechNavio currently has more than 3000 market research reports on a huge range of topics, including:
