ID: MRFR//1937-HCR | 100 Pages | Author: Ankit Gupta| December 2024

The Mobile Ticketing Market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of the increasing use of smartphones, which offer convenience when purchasing tickets. One good approach used by these firms is partnering with transportation agencies or event planners. By cooperating with leading players within this field, businesses offering these services can reach many customers, thereby increasing their visibility. A case in point would be an alliance between a leading music festival and the city's major transport Company. This would help one service provider capture a bigger portion of the market share, for instance. Not only do these alliances bring about exposure, but they also foster confidence and trust that drives acceptance for this mode.
On the other hand, another important positioning strategy would be seamless and user-friendly mobile ticketing. Customers value convenience and simplicity in today's fast-paced world. Mobile ticketing providers can obtain a competitive edge by offering intuitive and easy-to-use ticketing applications with mobile payments, QR code scanning, and personalized ticket recommendations, among others. Additionally, customization and personalization may very well come out as effective strategies for market share positioning in the mobile ticketing market. When it comes to buying tickets, customers have different preferences and requirements. In this regard, Mobile ticketing providers should pay attention to individual customer needs by offering personalized recommendations, tailored promotions, and targeted offers based on customer preferences, which creates a differentiated value proposition. By understanding individual customer needs or focusing on them, providers can build customer loyalty and gain more market share.
Pricing strategies are also crucial in terms of market share positioning apart from the customization mentioned above. Mobile ticketing providers can adopt different pricing models such as pay-per-use, subscription-based, or bundled packages, to capture various market segments. Additionally, investing in marketing and promotional activities is key to achieving market share positioning within the mobile ticketing market. They need to create awareness about their services as well as differentiate themselves from other similar service providers within the industry. Finally, continuous innovation and technological advancement play a vital role in driving the market share position of players forward in the mobile ticketing industry. In this case, we can distinguish real-time updates, contactless payment via smartphones popularised by Apple Pay, integration of digital wallet into smartphone operating system (Apple Wallet/Google Pay), and 3rd party scanning apps available for any smart device.
