Airbnb Statistics by Country: Global Booking Data & Market Insights

Did you know that every 0.6 seconds, someone books an Airbnb somewhere in the world? 

But here’s what most people don’t realize: the country you’re in determines almost everything about your Airbnb experience. It determines from how much you’ll pay to whether your host is a local renting out their spare room or a property management company running dozens of listings.

In the United States, Airbnb listings outnumber hotel rooms in 23 major cities. In Japan, the platform nearly vanished overnight when strict regulations slashed listings by 80%. In France, Airbnb contributes more to tourism revenue than the entire GDP of some small nations. 

Meanwhile, in countries like Croatia and Portugal, locals are being priced out of city centers as entire neighborhoods transform into short-term rental districts.

The numbers show insights far more complex than “the sharing economy.” They reveal where governments embrace disruption, where communities push back, and where Airbnb has fundamentally reshaped how an entire country thinks about travel, housing, and hospitality.

This guide breaks down the data country by country because understanding where Airbnb thrives (and where it struggles) tells you everything you need to know about the future of global travel.
