Analyst Opinion

The Vacation Rentals market in Canada is experiencing significant growth and evolution, driven by various factors influencing customer preferences and market trends.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Canada are increasingly seeking unique and personalized vacation experiences, leading to a rise in demand for vacation rentals over traditional accommodations. The flexibility, affordability, and authenticity offered by vacation rentals appeal to travelers looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and lifestyle.

Trends in the market:
One notable trend in the Canadian Vacation Rentals market is the growing popularity of eco-friendly and sustainable properties. Travelers are showing a preference for environmentally conscious accommodations, prompting property owners to adopt green practices and attract a niche market segment. Additionally, the integration of technology, such as online booking platforms and smart home features, is streamlining the rental process and enhancing the overall guest experience.

Local special circumstances:
Canada's vast and diverse landscape presents unique opportunities for vacation rental growth, with popular destinations ranging from picturesque mountain retreats to vibrant urban centers. The seasonal nature of tourism in Canada also impacts the Vacation Rentals market, as properties in ski resorts experience high demand during winter months, while beachfront rentals thrive in the summer. Moreover, the country's strong cultural heritage and indigenous tourism offerings contribute to the appeal of vacation rentals that showcase local traditions and craftsmanship.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The steady growth of Canada's tourism industry, coupled with an increase in domestic travel, is fueling the expansion of the Vacation Rentals market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of vacation rentals.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
