LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, July 5, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- The online travel agents market suffered a severe downturn, due to severe restrictions of movement during the peak of the COVID outbreak (2019-20). However, recovery from the slump was immediate and growth will continue to be strong through to 2026 (CAGR of 14.7%, 2021-2026). More modest growth is expected between 2026-2031 (CAGR of 5.8%).

Asia Pacific is the largest market by region, with 33.1% market share in 2022. Next is Western Europe with 27.5% share, followed closely by North America at 26.4% share. In the forecast period, the Asia Pacific market will continue to grow and reach 37.6% by 2031, with the Western Europe market declining to 24.6%. The North America market will remain stable, taking second place at 26.6% by 2031.

The other regional markets – South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa-shared only 13% of the market between them in 2022 and this is expected to drop to 11.2% by 2031.

As per data on the Global Market Model , the USA remains the largest market by country ($152.6 Bn in 2021), with China in second place ($110.6 Bn). Both these countries are also showing growth above 5%. A long way behind are Japan ($36.7 Bn), the UK ($32.6 Bn) and Germany ($29.8 Bn).
