I have repeatedly come across the fact that the number and popularity of casinos and bookmakers is growing in the world. But what are the reasons for this?
1. What percentage of betting players are long-term winners?

I tried looking for articles but there is no exact figure to quantify long-term winners in gambling. Though that may be the case, I do think that there is only a relatively low amount of gamblers who are considered as long-term winners and this also includes casino professionals (e.g. professional poker players, etc.).

I want to know what percentage of players in sports betting and on prediction platforms are long-term profitable.
First, I would like to know - are there any authoritative studies on this topic?

There are lots of information and studies about gambling. A simple Google search would show you tons of data regarding probability, house edge, statistics, and other information relevant to gambling and its risks.

I have come across different numbers. Some argue that only 1% of players are profitable in the long term. Others say that less than 1%. Still others claim that the number of such players is 0.01%.

Like what I mentioned above, there is no exact figure that can accurately quantify the number of long-term players who are profitable. Regardless, however, the fact still remains that only a significantly low number of people can expect profitability in doing long-term gambling.
