Ride sharing Market Trends

• 
  

  Rise in the cost of owning a car to propel the market growth

  
  

A vehicle's ownership involves a number of interrelated issues, including financing, gasoline, upkeep, registration/taxes, maintenance & repair, and depreciation. The price of owning a car goes up every year. Although the American Automobile Association (AAA) estimates that depreciation accounts for about 43% of the cost of ownership, additional expenses including maintenance and gasoline expenditures collectively account for -25%. The expense of fuel and maintenance has multiplied in recent years, and it is predicted that this trend will not reverse. Owning a car has shifted from being an asset to being more of a problem as cities get more and more congested with people and vehicles. In 2020, compared to 2019, the average cost to acquire and run a new car grew by USD 279 to reach USD 9,561.

Additionally, micromobility can be defined as the capacity to travel short distances in only one or two passenger cars. These include lightweight automobiles like mopeds, bicycles, scooters, and longboards. For commuters looking for a quick journey in the city without the hassle of public transit, shared micro-mobility is a wise choice. The concept of micro-mobility has a significant impact on how to use and profit from scooters and bikes. Growing congestion, particularly in metro areas, presents a huge opportunity for micromobility to solve these issues. For instance, as part of its strategy for electric mobility, the Volkswagen Group is supporting micro-mobility. In Geneva, the business unveiled Cityskater and Streetmate electric scooters. Together, Daimler and BMW are renting out scooters in more than six European cities. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.

Furthermore, the growing use of smart devices like smartphones and smart wearables as well as the rising use of internet data have increased the demand for ride sharing services globally and accelerated the expansion of the Ride Sharing Market. The essential need for using ride-hailing services is internet connectivity. To access the information and navigation of the ride, passengers must download ride-providing programmes onto their cellphones through the internet. The proper operation of V2V communication, navigation, and telematics requires internet access. Additionally, the smartphone apps offer a lot of security measures like the driver's name, phone number, and photo, the vehicle's number, route tracing information, and records of previous rides.

However, the rate of vehicle emissions has been rising over time on a global scale. The global greenhouse gas emissions are significantly influenced by the car industry. The government, businesses, and automakers are making additional efforts to reduce the rising CO2 emissions. Many organisations, including the International Institute for Sustainable Development of Canada, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change of India, and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change of the European Union, have established aspirational goals and standards, including increasing the amount of forest cover to reduce carbon footprints in the upcoming years. Therefore, rather than owning an own vehicle, these norms are likely to influence how these sharing services are used. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate car pool market revenue globally.
