The market value of billions of dollars in the industry Nuggets battle intensified

It is estimated that the scale of the Internet lottery sales market in 2015 is expected to exceed 100 billion. Attracted industry giants including BAT to enter the market share cake. But simple and crude competition or bring the industry shuffle.

A research report from Shenyin & Wanguo shows that from 2005 to 2013, the sales volume of Internet lottery in China surged from 100 million to 42 billion yuan and the annual compound growth rate reached an astonishing 112.8%. At the same time, In 2015, the size of this market is expected to exceed 100 billion.

Chengyang, a senior lottery ticket expert on the Beijing News reporter said that in the past two years, the network lottery showing a blowout situation, the major Internet giants collective approach, hot industry pattern, the reason behind the main reason is the network to open up the qualification of qualified and Capital market concerns.

In fact, as early as in 2001 the Internet has already appeared in the domestic color printing business, but for many years has been in the margins of the lottery industry and regulatory gray areas. It was not until January 2013 that the Ministry of Finance issued the Measures for the Management of the Issuance and Sale of Lottery Tickets that the channel legitimacy of Internet lottery sales was recognized.

"After the channel was liberalized, the huge market size and demand of the lottery industry itself attracted the attention of the capital market." The 500 lottery network went public in the US late last year, allowing the market to see room for growth in the lottery.

More than a year ago, A shares, Hong Kong stocks and stocks in the stock market, frequently listed companies involved in the merger and acquisition of reorganization of lottery assets; the same time, the People's Daily, CCTV and other mainstream media have opened the lottery plate. Subsequently, BAT, which has huge customer traffic, entered the market one after another, and veteran portals such as Sina and Netease started lottery business in different ways to seize the market and seek benefits in the future.

"From the perspective of policy and participation rate, China's Internet lottery will still have tremendous room for growth in the future." According to Li Jian, there are only two companies that have really obtained Internet lottery sales pilot documents, 500 lottery tickets and China's CSD. More "unlicensed" network lottery companies are with the provinces and cities around the body lottery center signed a phone sales cooperation, lottery sales platform as lottery sales agents around the country, such a "edge ball" approach to operation.

"The domestic lottery industry is considered lagging behind the market policy, lottery selling lottery sites or relying on the national sports center, can not be like foreign gaming companies sell their own sellers and direct seizure situation; the same time, 13.6%, a far cry from the level of 30% in developed countries. "Li Jian believes that with the development and expansion of network channels and technologies, more proactive policies will be introduced in the future and this market will have great prospects for development.

Li Jian said that at present the network lottery industry is hot and unusual, and all the companies in order to attract customers have entered the crazy stage of throwing money. In such a simple and crude competition, the future elimination and reshuffle in the industry is inevitable.

"Because of the resource advantages of the e-commerce giants and portals, traditional vertical lottery websites are under increasing management pressure." According to Li Jian, the last e-commerce giant with capital strength and customer resources in the industry will emerge as the overlord of the industry; At the same time, the veteran professional lottery website ensures its market share through mergers and acquisitions and eventually forms a pattern of several oligopolists that compete with each other. However, a large number of small and medium-sized lottery companies will be eliminated.
