The individual home owner segment contributes the largest share with almost 66% to the overall market revenue, as a majority of owners prefer listing their properties and managing it themselves. Companies such as Airbnb and HomeAway largely cater to the owner segment. The higher preference for frequent stays in this sector due to personal interaction is likely to drive the growth of the market.

The key players in the global vacation rental market are 9Flats, Airbnb, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, Wimdu, World Travel Holdings, and Wyndham Worldwide. This market is moderately fragmented with large- and small-sized players with high competition prominent among these players. However, as international players increase their footprint in the market with their huge infrastructure and reach, regional vendors find it increasingly tough to compete in terms of quality and technology.
