These days, just about every new startup is out to disrupt some traditional industry with a digital solution. This trend has led to some ingenious amazing success stories like Uber (personal transportation) and Zillow (real estate). Interestingly, one of the most successful disrupters from the past few years is from an industry you may not have expected.
Airbnb took an industry that generally isn’t top of mind among the general public and created a digital solution that not only catapulted home-renting into the mainstream, but racked up a nice $billion+ valuation for the company along the way.
So just how popular is Airbnb? I recently sat down and was able to dig up some pretty interesting Airbnb statistics and facts. As always, I will be updating this post regularly, so be sure to check back again for new and updated stats.
This report is a digital collection of all the Airbnb statistics I have been able to dig up over the years; 100 of them including stats on:
- Visitors
- Listings
- Geographic Data
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.
To get your copy of this stat report, click on the button below to purchase it.
or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Unicorn reports (Airbnb, Buzzfeed, Pinterest, Slack, Snapchat, Spotify, Tesla, Uber).
Bundle 2: Digital Disruptor reports (Uber, Zillow, Amazon, Glassdoor, WordPress, Airbnb, Tripadvisor, Tesla and Netflix reports).
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these Airbnb statistics come from the company’s own disclosures, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
