XpresSpa, FORM's largest operating segment, is the leading airport spa company in the world. XpresSpa has approximately 50% market share in the United States as measured by number of airport spas. It provides premium health and wellness services through its 49 locations within 20 of the largest and most desirable airport hubs in the United States, as well as four locations in two airports in Amsterdam and Dubai. XpresSpa generated annual revenues in 2016 of $43.8 million.
Counter to the instability of traditional retail, which has been exacerbated by shifting shopping preferences and the proliferation of e-commerce offerings, the airport retail market continues to grow due to increased travel security and screening requirements that are creating a captive environment within airport terminals globally. In response to these changes, airport consumers are demanding greater access to innovative and upscale retail, food, and services options. The North American airport retail market is on pace to grow at a 19% compound annual growth rate to $9.9 billion annually in 2020, according to New Market Research & Micro Market Monitor. XpresSpa's flexible operating model with compelling store economics is a perfect partner for airport operators looking to stay on trend with the powerful health and wellness movement.
