Business of The Hundred (Cricket) 2022 – Property Profile, Sponsorship and Media Landscape

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The Hundred competition has only seen a small increase of 50,200 combined followers compared to GlobalData’s last recording of The Hundred’s social media followings on the tournament's platforms. Ahead of the second edition of the competition, the Southern Brave, Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix are the highest followed teams, which is highly likely down to these teams' successes in last year’s inaugural competition. This year sees three brands renew their partnerships with The Hundred. New Balance will continue as the competition’s official kit partner, Masuri as the Official Helmet Supplier and Universal Pictures as an Official Partner. These three combined deals are expected to generate $1.715 million for The Hundred 2022. For the second edition of the competition the ECB continues to hold the commercial rights for The Hundred with individual teams unable to sign any exclusive partnerships. For instance, the ECB has an exclusive deal with commercial agency CSM Sport and Entertainment.
For 2022 the partnership between the ECB, BBC and Sky continues, the five-year contract runs until 2024. The first competition saw extremely positive viewing figures with 57% of viewers having not watched any other live ECB cricket in 2021.
Given the success of the tournament in year one, The Hundred has not had to change the commercial structure but has rather focused on continuing to partner with brands and businesses that complement the competition. Tournament sponsors were delighted with the commercial success of the inaugural competition, which included a fully taken up commercial partnership program. The premise of The Hundred attracted brands that may not have traditionally considered the sport. CSM emphasized that Sky, the BBC and the ECB were delighted with the broadcasting numbers in 2021. The inaugural edition of The Hundred attracted 9 million new viewers to cricket, 50% of which were women. Ticket sales for 2022 are outpacing where they were at the equivalent stage of 2021 and the ECB expects to improve on the 91% of capacity achieved last year

Key Highlights

The IPL continues to still stand out as the most popular cricket competition for online following, a big factor in this is India’s population of over 1.4 billion people and the national sport is cricket. With only a small increase in The Hundred teams’ overall Instagram followings since GlobalData’s last recording of these figures, there has been no change in position of the average Instagram followings. The second edition of The Hundred finds three new brands partnering with the competition, Sage, Robinsons and Xplora, while Lego have ended their partnership with the tournament. Cazoo, the tournament Principal Partner will once again provide The Hundred with the highest sponsorship value, the deal estimated to be worth $2.75 million annually. The Hundred 2022 will once again see the tournament broadcast across key cricket markets in Asia, Oceania, Southern Africa and the Caribbean.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
