As a Mediterranean and South-East European country, Croatia is one of the most 

dynamic countries of the ex-Yugoslavia. By opening negotiations with the Republic of 

Croatia, the European Union recognized the development of democracy in the country 

and Croatia’s constructive contribution in extending this process throughout South- 

Eastern Europe. Overall political and economic stability, an effective legal system and 

free enterprise in a democratic environment are the essential prerequisites for 

economic development, which have opened the door to full membership in the EU for 

Croatia. 

Currently in the process of entering the European Union in 2013, Croatia and the 

new government (since December 2011) arepreparing their future economy to turn 

towards the whole European market. The European accession will certainly boost their 

sport market and change significantly their annual GDP like in the past ten years, before 

the economic crisis. (Average of + 4,2% since 2000). 

The Ministry of Science, Education and Sports (MoSES) is not the only state 

institution dealing with the sport market, but it is a key of the general evolution about 

this market. The main programme related to sport is the “Prevention of violence among 

children and the youth” through the sport. What is more, top athletes involve 

themselves in many schools to promote the values and benefits of sport activities. 

In this research, you will find different activities in relation with the sport in Croatia. 

It starts by the practice of sport by the Croatian people, 40% of the population use sport 

infrastructures but only 7% are active members. Then, the study shows the different 

sportswear, services and equipments available in Croatia. To conclude, we finish with 

the gambling market which takes a significant place in the Croatian lifestyle.

A. Varteks and Čateks: the biggest textile companies in Croatia. 

The sports market of the Balkans is still so splintered that very few international 

brands have their own operations in the region, but it has apparently reached a stage of 

maturity that is now leading them to take control. 

Varteks and Čateks are the two largest and oldest textile companies in Croatia, 

with a world-renowned quality and tradition and references on the domestic and the 

foreign market. Together they employ around 3,000 people and as such they play a 

significant role in the economies of the two counties, but also the Croatian economy as a 

whole. 

Varteksd.d. is the leading Croatian fashion company in garment and wool fabric 

production, while Čateksd.d. is the leading Croatian producer of cotton and technical 

fabrics, artificial leather, household linen as well as sports and recreation products. Both 

companies place their products on the domestic and the foreign market. Varteks 

generates about half of its revenues on the foreign market, while Čateks exports about 

60 percent of its products. 

Linking the primary production of two companies with a vertical business 

organization is a lever for creating better and stronger prerequisites for a competitive 

market appearance and thus also public procurement procedures, whereby conditions 

are created to ensure a comprehensive offer of consumables and garment. 

The strategic alliance between Varteks and Čateks represents a proactive 

measure aiming to protect indispensable jobs and to strengthen cooperation between 

the two largest textile companies in Croatia by using their own resources as 

fundamental cornerstones to create prerequisites for a competitive market appearance 

and public procurement procedures. 

By merging production and human resources through this strategic alliance 

which represents an extraordinary contribution not only to the textile industry, but also 

to the economy as a whole, Varteks and Čateks wish to create a quality lever for 

competitiveness on the domestic and the foreign market”, said DamirVitez, the president 

of the Management Board of Čateksd.d.

Zagreb: Zagreb Boat Show (or Nautika) 

Sources: www.zv.hr 

Zagreb Boat Show / Nautika (International Boat Show) takes place in Zagreb, Croatia in 

February. In 2010 Zagreb Boat Show attracted more than 25000 visitors and 413 

exhibitors. 

During the past 20 editions the Zagreb boat show has become the largest regional 

business event in the field with significant prospects at the market of the European 

Union. 

Croatia will be accepted into the EU at a time when there is no euphoria, meaning that it 

will enter the union more readily and rationally expecting from its EU membership to 

secure a stable financial and macro economical setting and a stable and efficient legal 

system that will contribute to further development of the Croatian economy. 

With the participation of Croatian shipbuilders, all active in the branch and 

representatives of the Croatian government last year they launched the first expert 

gathering for all involved in the nautical sector.

The former Yugoslav countries are particularly big TV consumers, with viewing 

time standing at 5 hours and 16 minutes a day in Serbia 2010, a rise of 23 minutes in 

three years. The TV consumption in Macedonia is pretty impressive too, with 4 hours 

and 53 minutes in 2010 against 4 hours and 32 minutes in 2008 (+ 21 minutes). 

Meanwhile in Croatia and Bosnia viewing time remains quite stable, despite a slightly 

decrease in Bosnia. 

More surprising (but not that much given the growing success of Turkish series), 

1001 Noc (BinbirGece), a Turkish series, is ranked in the top ten programs of 2010 of 

two ex-Yugoslav countries: Croatia and Macedonia. Also, in Macedonia, there are two 

more Turkish series in the ranking (YaprakDokumu and HaniminCiftligi respectively 

ranked 5th and 7th).

A. General overview 

Sources: www.gbgc.com 

The first Croatian bookmakers appeared in the last decade. They knew 

immediately a success. Many businesses wanted a piece of this new market and many 

new betting chains opened, usually under foreign ownership. In this new, competitive 

market, operators first tried to win business with more favourable odds and then later, 

when it became too expensive to continue this pricing policy, with new shop openings. 

With high fixed costs, many of those businesses were turning a loss, but stayed in the 

business hoping to move into profit on the back of rising betting handle. Because of the 

economic crisis, in just 18 months, the Croatian betting industry lost 25% of its 

operators. 

Today there are nine chains in the market, with only five of them profitable. 

Seven operators have experienced a decline in revenues in the last two years. During 

international tournaments, demand increase. 

This table shows market share of sports betting in Croatia between 2005 and 2010.

6. SPORT GAMBLING

One of the examples of the not-so-profitable investment is Favorit.The most 

successful operator in the Croatian market is Super Sport, which started off as the thirdplaced 

operator in the market and slowly worked its way up. Super Sport is the 

uncontested market leader with around 1/3 of the market. 

HrvatskaLutrija, the national lottery monopoly, came late to the betting market but 

secured an 8% market share mostly thanks to its large retail network. 

The three aforementioned operators are the only ones currently offering Internet 

betting, which was allowed from the early of 2010. The other operators have decided 

not to join in due to the high costs of the licence per year, three times more than the 

retail licence. HrvatskaLutrija was late to join the market, starting in September 2010. 

The other two operators launched their offering in June, in time for the FIFA World Cup 

in South Africa. 

First results from the lottery show that in the first three months the lottery had 9,613 

players over the Internet. Betting was the most popular product where Internet sales 

accounted for 14% of overall sales. 

It seems that due to high costs and small volumes licensed Internet play will not be a 

saviour for Croatian bookmakers. Fortuna has recently started advertising their Maltese 

site, which is cheaper for the Croatian players as it does not charge the 5% betting tax 

that Croatian bookmakers charge. 

You can bet in Croatia on Internet for a short time. It’s only since 2010 (World Cup) that 

companies created their online products.

B. Forecast of the gambling market 

The Croatian Lottery (HrvatskaLutrijad.o.o.) has extended its partnership agreement 

with Intralot and expects it will be the first Croatian operator to launch a platform of 

online gambling. Intralot first entered the Croatian market as a supplier of an interactive 

gaming system to the state lottery in April 2009. The initial contract was signed for one 

year with possible yearly extensions. The instalment of the initial multi-channel gaming 

platform allowed the development of new interactive 3D games and the support of 

existing lottery games, including Lotto, Keno, Joker, TV Bingo, Super Bingo, and Fixed- 

Odds sports betting games.After negotiations the Lottery chose Intralot as its software 

provider for sports betting and lottery games. Intralot will develop five new games that 

include Horse Racing, Roulette Deluxe, Lucky Dice, Victory at Sea, and Super Goal. 

The expansion into the online market proved profitable for the state lottery as 

the first four months of internet sales accounted for 9% of total lottery turnover, up 

from 7% in the first six weeks. The company estimates this number will reach 30% 

within two years. In the first 30 days, the Croatian Lottery had 6,000 registered players 

via the Internet. 

When the law first became effective no Croatian based operators had an existing 

Internet offer, but bookmakers Fortuna and Super Sport launched their online products 

just in time for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. As Croats are known sports fanatics, 

it is no surprise sports betting are the most popular segment of Internet Gaming. The 

Internet accounted for 19% of total sports betting turnover for the Croatian Lottery in 

the first four months of operation. The percentage of revenues coming from online 

games is much smaller for lottery games than for sports betting, ranging from 1% to 7% 

in the first six weeks.

Although no other Croatian-based bricks and mortar operators have applied for 

an online casino licence, global operators such as bwin, Unibet, bet-at-home, Bet365, 

have strengthened their presence in the market. Statistically, Unibet and bwin are two 

most recognised names in Croatia despite their offshore status.
