MakeMyTrip Dominates Travel Search in India - Can it Hold On to Its Lead?


Skift Take

MakeMyTrip excelled in 2024 with strong growth and Google dominance but faces rising competition in India’s rapidly evolving online travel market.

2024 was a good year for MakeMyTrip, India’s leading OTA: It had double-digit revenue growth and rapid margin expansion. And its shares surged 150%, making it one of the best performing stocks in global travel. 

Will the gains continue? Skift Research’s latest report – Company Profiles: MakeMyTrip – reveals a strong foundation but also plenty of challenges as competition grows more intense.

As part of our analysis, we ran a proprietary web scrape of roughly 600 hotel listings on Google Hotels in India to understand how MakeMyTrip stands up to both local and global peers.

Our web-scraping analysis of Google Hotels’ sponsored results in India showed that MakeMyTrip features in 52% of sponsored hotel listings, second only to Booking.com, which was featured in close to 60% of listings.
