How Are Service-based Booking Services Doing?
The global online booking system market is experiencing significant growth. In 2023, the market size surpassed USD 600.5 billion and is expected to grow at around 7% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. This surge is driven by the increasing consumer preference for online booking platforms across various service sectors.
The global online travel booking service market was valued at approximately USD 519.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 1.13 trillion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0% from 2022 to 2030.
Companies operating within the service-based booking sector have demonstrated substantial profitability. In 2021, Booking.com reported a profit of $1.1 billion on $10.9 billion in revenue. Although this was a recovery phase post-pandemic, the company had previously achieved a net income of $4.8 billion in 2019. In 2023, eDreams ODIGEO, a Spanish online travel booking company, achieved a net profit of 32.4 million euros, recovering from three consecutive years of losses due to pandemic-related restrictions.
These figures underscore the robust growth and profitability potential within the service-based booking industry, highlighting the increasing consumer preference for online booking platforms across various service sectors.
