Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Opera Browser: A web browser available for desktop and mobile. Market share is around 2-3% globally. Competitors include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Difficult to get specific revenue numbers.
  • Opera News: A personalized news aggregator app. Boasts millions of monthly active users, particularly in Africa and Asia. Competitors include Google News, Apple News, and various other news aggregation apps. Revenue generated through ads, but difficult to get specific revenue numbers.
  • Opera GX: A browser specifically designed for gamers. Rapidly growing user base. Competitors include mainstream browsers and specialized gaming platforms. Revenue is driven through ad revenue, but difficult to get specific revenue numbers.
  • Dify: Fintech app providing cashback, rewards, and payment services. Competitors include Paypal (PYPL), Block (SQ), and Adyen (ADYEY).

Market Dynamics

industry overview logo Industry Overview

The internet browser market is dominated by a few major players but also has some niche players and alternative browsers that focus on specialized features or target specific user groups. The online news aggregation market is highly competitive. The fintech sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing adoption of digital payments and financial services. The gaming industry is constantly evolving.

Positioning

Opera is positioned as a company offering innovative browsers and services that cater to specific user segments. It differentiates itself through its gaming browser and focus on emerging markets.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The TAM for browsers is estimated to be in the billions, driven by global internet usage. The fintech TAM is also in the billions, driven by digital payments and financial services. Opera's TAM will therefore be dependent on the growth of the internet and fintech industries in emerging markets. It is well positioned to capture a portion of the TAM due to its focus on niche markets.

Growth Trajectory and Initiatives

Historical Growth: Historically, Opera has grown through user acquisition in emerging markets and expansion of its product portfolio.

Recent Initiatives: Recent initiatives include the continued development of Opera GX, expansion of fintech services in Africa, and investment in AI driven products.

Summary

Opera Ltd. is a company that has grown from developing browsers to fintech and gaming services. Its focus in emerging markets gives it a competitive edge.
