The 2022 Winter Olympics took place in Beijing over a two-and-a-half-week period at the start of February. It was the second IOC event to take place during the pandemic following the delayed Summer Games in Tokyo. Traditionally the Winter Olympics tends to be a more low-key affair in terms of event impact and popularity, with fewer events, athletes, and medals up for grabs. Added to this the specific conditions that are required for a nation to thrive in winter sports, mean fewer nations are represented, therefore appealing to fewer sports fans around the world, as North American and European nations across Scandinavia and Alpine regions are most represented at the top end of the medal table.

The second International Olympic Committee event held in as many years in pandemic conditions meant no outside spectators were allowed to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. This along with the human rights controversy that followed the host nation in the build-up to the Games, meant the Games took place in conditions that weren’t favorable for viewing, with traditional coverage at NBC, the BBC, and other broadcasters down on Pyeongchang 2018.

The Beijing Winter Olympics post-event analysis report highlights viewing figure comparisons between Beijing 2022, Pyeongchang 2018, and the delayed Summer Games in Tokyo 2021. Moreover, it provides data surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic and highlights the event’s impact on the case numbers in the city of Beijing.

What was the impact of COVID-19 on the Beijing Winter Olympics?

China has been pursuing a strict zero COVID policy which has kept cases lower compared to many other countries, with Beijing participants required to test daily, while tickets were not sold for events at the Games. Other measures included pre-travel testing, arrival testing, mandated mask-wearing, and enforced social distancing.

Great efforts were made to ensure the Omicron strain of the virus was kept out of the city and the athlete village. Dr. Brian McCloskey, chair of the Beijing 2022 Medical Expert Panel suggested that extra sensitive PCR tests would contribute to providing accurate results to ensure isolation procedures would be best followed.

Cases fell in Beijing before the Games, but there has been a spike since, suggesting the possibility of some spread due to the influx of athletes and support staff. However, with a 7-day case average in single figures, cases remain low.

What was the sponsorship outlook of the Beijing Winter Olympics?

The Games in 2022 were clouded by human rights abuse allegations, with China coming under increased international scrutiny for its persecution of minorities. As such, TOP sponsors, who have paid hundreds of millions of dollars for the exclusive position as a main Olympic sponsor, were keen to distance themselves from the event, despite their large sponsorship fees.

Only four of the 13 TOP sponsors used Olympic-themed advertising across all four of their traditional social media channels, with Bridgestone, Omega, Samsung, and Toyota putting more effort into their Olympic partnerships than other brands. The political scrutiny from the West is likely to have put off European and American brands from Beijing 2022, with only Swiss watchmaker Omega using all platforms, while three Japanese brands were happy to fully utilize their digital marketing.

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.”

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.
