Travel Trend Report for January 2020

 

As expected and seen in previous Blogposts about the seasonality of the travel order value, the highest peak was noticed in January. Interestingly, the trend of the curve of the order value in 2019 is quite similar to 2018, even though a steady increase can be observed. However, as already known, the month of January is particularly important, followed by July.

Nonetheless the Smartphone AOV decreased to 284 EUR compared to 352 EUR in January 2019, it remained higher than the average order value across all devices.

The highest number of sales was generated in the UK with immense growth in the number of sales of +240% compared to January 2019. Followed by Poland (+108% YOY) and France (+40% YOY). Very interesting observation: in some countries, shopping on smartphones is still quite important despite some decreasing numbers, resulting in even higher smartphone AOVs than the global average.

Overall, the January Travel Season was a huge success for Tradedoubler. Even though January remained the most important month for the industry, we saw a trend for July as well, that still needs to be observed this year.
