Macau’s Gross Gaming Revenue in October Forecast to Rise 13% Boosted by Consumer Confidence

(Macau).- Analyst projects 13% October GGR growth in Macau, driven by strong marketing, eased money flows, and rising travel demand.
Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) is expected to grow by 13% year-on-year in October, surpassing the historical average, according to analyst Vitaly Umansky from Seaport Research Partners.
Umansky highlighted that this growth precedes a projected 12.4% expansion in Q4 2025, compared to just 8.3% in the first half of the year. The recovery will be driven by stronger marketing strategies, continued easing of capital outflows, and robust visa issuance.
The analyst also pointed to rising demand fueled by entertainment events and a potential U.S.–China trade deal, which could further strengthen consumer confidence and boost travel to Macau.
Looking ahead, Umansky forecasts 7% annual growth between 2026 and 2027, supported by higher hotel occupancy, a stronger base mass recovery, and ongoing easing of money flow restrictions.
He emphasized Macau’s secular long-term growth model, projecting 8.3% GGR growth in 2025 and 7% growth in the following years. While the premium segment has remained strong post-COVID, the base mass—especially overnight players—has been relatively weaker, though signs of mid-tier recovery have emerged during the summer.
Year-to-date, Macau’s casino revenue stands at 82% of 2019 levels, with mass market revenue reaching 118%, while VIP revenue lags at 28%, the report noted.
