The rise of the sharing economy

2Source: pwc 2014‐ The sharing economy: how will it disrupt your business? Megatrends: the collisions

• “The ‘sharing economy’ uses digital platforms to allow customers to have access to, rather than ownership of, tangible and intangible assets. 

• Five key sharing sectors (P2P finance, online staffing, P2P accommodation, car sharing and music/video streaming) have the potential to increase global revenues from around $15 billion now to around $335 billion by 2025.”

Our methodology

5

• Analyzing publicly available information about Switzerland's Airbnb's listings with Web scraping technique (web harvesting or web data extraction)

• We made searches for 4577 localities in Switzerland to gather data and estimate – based on similar studies ‐ to be able to gather 90% of all listings ‐> presented data = minimum values

• Our questions :– How many listings (objects) are in Switzerland and in the cantons?– What are the characteristics of the objects (size, price, type)– Which hosts are running a business with multiple listings and where?

Murray Cox (2015): “Renting out entire homes frequently or every room in an apartment is not sharing. While a small part of Airbnb's community may be participating in a true "Sharing Economy", the majority of its revenue is generated by commercial suppliers who have turned one or more residential properties into hotels.” (hospitality‐inside.com)

• Important growth of the offer (number of listings more than doubled since 2014)

• At least 1 million roomnights• Growth not only in urban areas, strong development in leisure 

destinations (VS, GR)• Growth probably due to use of Airbnb by commercial players of 

the vacation rental sector
