Adevinta ASA is a global digital marketplace company that operates online platforms for buying and selling goods and services. Its marketplaces connect private individuals and businesses with consumers, with listings spanning areas such as used vehicles, real estate, jobs, and general merchandise. The company generates value through advertising, paid listings, lead-generation services, and other commercial products for sellers and professional customers.
Adevinta has operated well-known marketplace brands in Europe and other international markets, including Leboncoin in France, mobile.de in Germany, Marktplaats in the Netherlands, Subito in Italy, and InfoJobs, Fotocasa, and Habitaclia in Spain. Its platforms serve both consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer transactions, supporting categories such as automotive, property, employment, and retail.
The company was created in 2019 through the separation of Schibsted’s classified advertising operations and subsequently expanded through the acquisition of eBay Classifieds Group. Adevinta was later taken private by an investment consortium led by Permira and Blackstone, with the transaction completed in 2023. As a result, its shares are no longer publicly listed, although the company’s marketplaces continue to operate across multiple European countries.
