Rydoo Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions

CDS Group has acquired Rydoo's "Travel" business unit, signaling ongoing M&A activities in the recovering Business Travel sector. This move aligns with CDS Group's strategy of accelerating growth and reinforcing its French leadership through technological consolidation. The complementary positioning and customer portfolio are expected to propel the new group to become the European leader in business travel hotel reservation solutions, targeting a potential business volume of 500 million euros. Despite the rapid growth of Rydoo Travel since 2017, Rydoo has decided to divest from this segment, selling it to CDS Group. This strategic alignment positions Rydoo Travel for accelerated growth in its expense business line, with the support of CDS Group, creating a European leader in hotel reservation solutions.

In September 2021 Rydoo received an investment from its new major shareholder Marlin Equity Partners (‘Marlin’). The global investment firm with over $7.6 billion of capital commitments under management acquired the majority shareholding. The investment represents a very strong endorsement for Rydoo from a global investment firm with a proven track record of successful collaboration with similar companies in the software and technology space. With Marlin’s support, Rydoo will accelerate its global expansion with the ultimate objective to become a leading global player in the Travel and Expense industry.
