More about Hopper
Despite the pandemic’s impact on the travel industry, Hopper has
emerged stronger than ever. As the travel industry continues to
rebound, Hopper has demonstrated significant outperformance with its
category-leading mobile-only marketplace, delivering value to
customers and supply partners with the company’s proprietary suite
of fintech offerings .
Here are just a few stats that demonstrate the company’s recent
growth:
* Hopper’s valuation is now over $5B, which is more than triple
our valuation from early 2020.
* The company grew its revenue by more than 300% YoY in 2021.
Hopper’s monthly revenues are now 375% higher than its pre-pandemic
high point and Hopper Cloud, Hopper’s new B2B initiative, is already
15% of its revenues and growing.
* According to Apptopia, Hopper was the #1 most downloaded OTA in
the US in 2021. The app has over 70 million downloads.
* Hopper’s recovery is faster than the market and its share of the
air travel market in North America is now 300% higher than prior to
the pandemic, according to MIDT. We are now the 3rd largest air travel
agency in North America.
* The company sells over $2B in travel and travel related financial
services annually.
* Hopper’s fintech offerings, such as Price Freeze and Rebooking
Guarantee, now represent over 70% of its air revenue.
* Given the success of its travel fintech, Hopper recently launched
a B2B initiative called Hopper Cloud, where any travel provider can
unlock a totally unique revenue stream by seamlessly integrating and
offering Hopper’s travel content and fintech products. Hopper Cloud
partners include Capital One, Kayak, Marriott, Amadeus, Trip.com , and
MakeMyTrip.
The industry opportunity for Hopper Cloud is enormous as projections
estimate that if all travel distribution channels offered travel
fintech, it could increase the total consumer spend for the sector by
$200 billion annually.
And all this recent growth is just the beginning. There are still so
many new opportunities we’re excited to tackle in the next year!
