The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing number of internet users, rising demand for online dating services, and growing acceptance of online dating among singles. In addition, the increasing trend of using mobile devices for accessing online dating services is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global dating services market can be segmented into online dating services, traditional offline dating services, and niche/specialty Dating Services (e.g., speed Dating). Among these segments, the online segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.

Product Definition:
Dating Services is a type of service that helps people find dates. This can include online dating websites, dating apps, or matchmaking services. Dating Services can be important because they can help people find relationships and connect with other singles in their area.
Online:
Online is a virtual meeting place where two or more people can communicate with each other via computer networks. Online services are provided by companies through web-based email and instant messaging, along with chat rooms and news groups. Online dating is also known as internet dating or cyberdating.
Traditional:
Traditional is a method of matchmaking that has been used for centuries. It's based on the idea that two people with similar interests and backgrounds find each other more easily than those who are different. In this system, members create their own Traditional Matches (TM) by filling out an online form with basic information about themselves and the type of relationship they are looking for. The service then presents potential matches to them based on their preferences.
Application Insights:
Matchmaking dating services held the largest market share of more than 50.0% in 2017. This is attributed to the growing preference for arranged marriages among millennials and generation Z as well as a rise in single-parent families across developed economies such as U.S., Canada, Germany, France and Spain. Moreover, matchmaking services help compatible couples find each other through extensive network of friends and relatives who have already done their homework by filling out an online questionnaire about their compatibility with potential matches.
The social dating application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its rising popularity among millennials and generation Z seeking dates or boyfriend/girlfriend relationships without going into any intimate relationship stage yet.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of online and mobile dating services in the region is attributed to a large extent. According to Pew Research Center, 77% of American adults use social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Furthermore, according to a survey conducted by eHarmony among millennials (ages 18-24), 80% of them are using online dating websites/apps such as Tinder and Happn whereas only 20% said that they don't use these apps.
Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest growing markets during the forecast period owing to increasing internet penetration rates especially among millennials and rising disposable income levels especially in developing countries like India & China & Philippines etc.).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing urbanization and rising disposable income: This is leading to more people getting married at a later age and also having more money to spend on dating services.
- Increased internet penetration and smartphone usage: This is making it easier for people to find dates online or through mobile apps, and is also making it easier for dating service providers to reach out to potential customers.
- Growing acceptance of online dating: More people are now comfortable using online dating services, which has helped fuel the growth of this market segment.
- Rising divorce rates: This is leading more people to look for new partners, thereby driving demand for Dating Services products and services.
