Airbnb SWOT and PESTLE Analysis

COMPANY PROFILE -Airbnb

Business Sector :Hospitality

Operating Geography :United States, North America, Global

About Airbnb :

Airbnb is an online lodging marketplace founded in 2008 by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk. It is headquartered in San Francisco, USA. The company has 7 million places of accommodation in 220+ countries. The accommodations are all managed by local hosts who sign up on the platform to provide rooms on rent for people looking for lodging. The company basically acts as a broker that receives commission on each booking. To cut down the high cost of rent in San Francisco, the current founders and former roommate Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia came up with the concept of setting an air mattress in their living room transforming their apartment into a bed and breakfast (a lodging that accommodates overnight stay and breakfast). Thus, Airbnb, an abbreviated version of its original name, AirBedandBreakfast was formed. Today, Airbnb hosts offer millions of listings in more than 220 countries and regions and over 100,000 cities, and many of these listings are only accessible on Airbnb. It has around 6,132 employees as of early 2022.

Airbnb's USP or unique selling proposition lies in being one of the world’s largest online marketplaces for unique, authentic, and alternate accommodations. Airbnb's mission is “to help create a world where you can belong anywhere and where people can live in a place, instead of just traveling to it.” Airbnb’s vision statement reads “Belong Anywhere”.

Airbnb Revenue :


$ 5,991,760 - FY ending December 2021 (y-o-y growth of +77.3%)
$3,378,199 - FY ending December 2020

Competitive Analysis of Airbnb

SWOT
PESTLE
Designating itself as an "Economic Empowerment Engine", Airbnb has helped millions of hospitality entrepreneurs to live their passion and monetize their spaces. Hosting more than half a billion guests till date, Airbnb has successfully promoted people-to-people connections and built a global community of trust with no space for discrimination.
Accordingly, the SWOT analysis of Airbnb manifests a discussion on the greatest strengths that the company enjoys as a competitive advantage over its competitors in the hospitality and lodging industry. The analysis further highlights the opportunities in the external environment that can be consolidated to further strengthen the assets that generate surplus cash. The SWOT report of Airbnb also confers intelligence on the internal weaknesses and external threats that the company confronts being in such a highly competitive environment.
One of the core competency of Airbnb that presents the company with an edge is its pricing model; the company is well known for its cheaper alternatives to expensive hotels. Airbnb being online-based allows travelers to compare and pick from various cheaper alternatives in their desired location. Furthermore, internal factors like strong brand reputation, global presence in 220+ countries, influential social media presence, additional features on website to enhance travel activities, unique and appealing business concept, 24/7 customer service, etc. are some of the most exceptional strengths of Airbnb.
However certain negative experiences of customers and incidents like discrimination, theft of valuables, invasion into privacy, compromised safety, rape and murder, unhygienic lodging, unprofessional host, etc., are the weakness of Airbnb that damage the brand reputation.
Airbnb is no more just an alternate accommodation provider, the company is grabbing the opportunity to extend its business model by increasing its products and services, entering into emerging countries, developing a mobile-based application to connect guests and hosts, etc.
As the business model of Airbnb is considerably mere to replicate the competition threat seemingly increases. With existing players including similar features in their business models and new entrants coming up with cheaper services, the competitive threat is escalating in this industry.
The SWOT analysis for Airbnb is presented below in the matrix followed by detailed analysis:
Strengths
Weaknesses
1. Variety of lodging options at cheaper price than hotels
2. Large worldwide presence built by thinking glocal
3. The local experience provided to guests is a key differentiator from other lodging options
4. User-friendly and personalized website
5. Launch of a host endowment fund
6. Introduction of aircover- a comprehensive protection plan while travelling
1. Controversies affecting the company’s image
2. Company is vulnerable to fraudsters who scam customers through fake Airbnb websites
Opportunities
Threats
1. Major sporting events and the Olympics partnership deal
2. China is the world’s largest sharing economy
3. Increase in the demand for non-urban destination bookings

Detailed SWOT Analysis of Airbnb

Strength

Weakness

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Opportunity

1. Major sporting events and the Olympics partnership deal: Major sporting events like Summer and Winter Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Euro Football Championship, Cricket World Cup etc. are huge opportunities for companies like Airbnb due to the huge influx of fans from other countries. Also, there is a high chance of locals opting to sign up as hosts in order to grab the opportunity of earning some extra money during the events, thereby increasing the accommodation options available to visitors. Airbnb has entered into a $ 500 million sponsorship deal with the International Olympic Committee for Summer and Winter Olympics and Paralympics from 2020 till 2028. This deal helps Olympic organizers cut down on event hosting costs. Also, the venues of Olympic games during this time period: Beijing (2022), Paris (2024), Milan (2026) and Los Angeles (2028) are all major rental hotspots for Airbnb. As part of this deal, Airbnb would provide accommodation to visitors, families of athletes and officials. Athletes can also directly benefit by using Airbnb to sell personal Olympic experiences and access to training regimes to their fans and earn revenue during the process.

2. China is the world’s largest sharing economy: The sharing economy has grown at a fast pace across the world in the last decade. Especially in China, which is currently the world’s largest sharing economy. Though there were disruptions due to resurgences of COVID-19 and related regulatory measures, the sharing economy in China marked a turnaround and recorded a 9.2% year-on-year growth in 2021. The driver of the Chinese sharing economy is the rising consumption by Chinese people. A good proportion of consumer spending is in the sharing economy. In 2021, retail sales of Chinese domestic goods increased 12.5% year-on-year to about $6.93 trillion. The transaction volume for China's sharing economy in 2020 touched $522.47 billion, mostly contributed by knowledge skills and medical care increase, and is further expected to grow at a steady pace of 10% annually. In 2020 the size of the sharing economy workforce reached a record 84 million. Now with broader application of 5G, artificial intelligence and IoT Sharing service and innovative consumption formats are expected to emerge further in China, and also the rest of the World. The company plans to bring 1 billion users onto the platform during the next 10 years by focusing on China and India.
