Casinos in the UK Industry Data and Analysis
Industry revenue is expected to balloon at a compound annual rate of 46.4% over the five years through 2025-26. This huge jump is attributed to the base year being 2020-21, a year in which UK residents spent most of their time in national lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in casinos shutting their doors as consumers were confined to their households, meaning revenue plummeted, skewing the five-year figure. After COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were lifted in 2021-22, casinos continued to face low consumer demand as inflation remained high over the two years through 2022-23, lowering demand for discretionary spending on leisure activities like casinos. Stricter regulatory reforms introduced to protect player safety have also tarnished casinos' reputations in recent years, lowering footfall and demand for non-remote sites.
