Juniper Research: Airbnb's revenues will exceed Uber's
Research from British firm Juniper Research has found that sharing economy space providers such as Airbnb and WeWork will overtake the likes of ride-sharing giants Uber and Lyft in revenues raised by 2019. The firm predicts that Airbnb and WeWork will see global revenues grow from around $2.3bn this year, to $6.1bn by 2019, thus overtaking Uber. The reasons given for this are that Airbnb is particularly easy to use, as well as offering registered property owners financial rewards. Furthermore, the author of the piece predicts that growth in the shared space industry “will hold significant concern for the hotel industry, where in many cases shared space providers are not bound by the same rules and regulations as traditional establishments, leading them to undercut pricing and avoid restrictions.”
