Regulatory constraints and fierce competition among gambling providers have hurt the Social Clubs industry. Tight state and territorial legislation has been detrimental to the industry's performance, with the industry deriving nearly 45.0% of its revenue from gambling. Declining per capita alcohol consumption has placed downward pressure on liquor sales. Changing consumer preferences and rising discretionary incomes have positively influenced premium food and beverage sales, partly offsetting these negative trends. The COVID-19 pandemic and periods of lockdowns and restrictions on business operations significantly hindered social clubs. Industry-wide revenue has been declining at an estimated annualised 3.5% over the past five years and is expected to total $11.1 billion in 2023-24, when revenue will inch up by an anticipated 0.3%.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 3.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $11.1bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
