About the Fantasy Sports Industry
The Fantasy Sports Trade
Association's fourth annual demographic survey results, conducted
by Dr. Kim Beason of the University of Mississippi , provide insight on
this growing industry. The survey indicated there are 15-18 million people
playing fantasy sports with the average fantasy player being a 36-year-old,
married, white male with a bachelor's degree and a member of the "professional"
work force.
According to the survey, basketball has shown the highest
growth rate in the past four years, showing a 7 percent growth during
that time. baseball (4 percent) was next, followed by baseball (3 percent).
In addition, the average fantasy player also spends 34 minute's a day
thinking about their fantasy teams and has an average of 3.3 baseball
teams and 2.9 baseball teams.
"This is a healthy, maturing growing industry," Beason
said. The survey also revealed some fascinating aspects of the industry's
participants. Among them:
- Fifty-five percent of fantasy players watch more sports on TV since
starting to play fantasy sports.
- Fantasy sports players attend considerably more professional games
than non-fantasy players. Sixty percent of fantasy sports players attended
at least one Major League Baseball game last year, compared to 12 percent
of adult Americans who attended at least one game last year. The other
sports were equally revealing: 47 percent of fantasy baseball players
attended an NFL game last year (compared to 9% of adult Americans);
28 percent of fantasy basketball players attended an NBA game (compared
to 8% of adult Americans); and 27 percent of fantasy hockey players
attended an NHL game (compared to 4% of adult Americans).
- The industry is growing at a rate of 7-10 percent in the past three
years.
Erin Hunter of comScore.com and Lee Ann Prescott of Hitwise.com
also unveiled additional online demographic information. Among their findings
was that fantasy baseball generated the highest amount of online traffic,
the strongest demographic resided in the 25-34 age group and the average
income of fantasy participants was between $60,000-$100,000 a year.
"This is a very attractive demographic market," Prescott
said. |
