Report Overview

Global Ride Sharing Market Size – Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global ride sharing market is growing with a CAGR of 16.4% and touched USD 85.1 billion in 2021. The market is expected to reach USD 245.9 billion by 2028. An increase in traffic safety and improvements in public transportation facilities sustain the market for ride-sharing services. Moreover, overcrowded public transportation systems, such as light rail, subways, and buses, cause a high degree of uncertainty when commuting. These services often bear the risk of transmitting infections and other communicable diseases. Thus, a growing demand for comfortable intercity transportation has led to the growth of the global ridesharing market.

Ride Sharing: A Brief Overview:

Ridesharing is the most technologically innovative transportation scheme that allows users to book a short ride as and when desired. Carpooling and platform-based travel services, car-sharing, and bike-sharing (e.g., Uber, Lyft, BlaBlaCar) all come under such conveyance systems. The main objective of introducing such a transportation mode is to reduce automotive pollution, road congestion, and car journeys. To schedule a trip in a privately owned car, one must use a mobile app. Nowadays, instead of owning a car, customers are primarily opting for ride-sharing systems, which reduces commuting costs as well as the burden associated with owning a vehicle.

Global Ride Sharing Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

An Increasing Number of Smartphones and Internet Users

Since ridesharing is an internet-enabled service, having access to the internet is a prerequisite for using ride-sharing services in any corner of the world. To use all navigation and information services associated with the app, users need to install an app on their smartphone and use data services. According to the International Telecommunication Union, the internet is used by nearly 81% of developing countries. On the other hand, 40% of developed countries have access to the internet, and this figure is rapidly rising. Thus, the growing number of smartphone and internet users are driving the growth of the global ride sharing market.

Increase in the Cost of Vehicle Ownership

The cost of owning a personal car has increased due to rising fuel costs as well as increase in credit, insurance, and vehicle registration fees. Maintenance rates, which include the replacement of parts and components as well as labor costs, have also risen, contributing to the overall expense of vehicle ownership. Vehicles require complex, advanced, and expensive after-treatment devices in order to meet rigorous emission norms. These reasons have increased the cost of vehicle possession, which in turn has raised the admiration of ride-sharing services.

Restraints

Lack of Advanced Technology

The primary reason for the market's slow growth is the lack of access to technology and supporting infrastructure. Furthermore, in heavily populated areas, the lack of convenient pick-up and drop-off places for cars prevents carpools from being universally adopted. Another major barriers to entry for new entrants in the market is the high investment needed to develop useful technical support for ride-sharing services in mobile apps.

Resistance from Traditional Transport Services

Though ride sharing service offers several benefits and advanced features, such as doorstep pickup and drop-off facilities, and better convenience, such advanced features can pose a threat to passengers as ride-sharing apps contain detailed user information as well as the details of users' linked payment apps, thereby creating a high risk of cyber security.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Ride Sharing Market

The rapidly spreading COVID-19 pandemic is unfavorably impacting the ride-sharing market demand. Government and healthcare authorities use social distancing laws and regulations to allow residents to keep a two-meter gap from other individuals for safety. As a result, the use of ride-sharing platforms for regular travel has been limited. Owing to health and safety issues, users nowadays prefer driving their own cars, which in turn is severely affecting the ride sharing market worldwide. The market problem, however, will diminish as ride-sharing companies improve their sanitation and safety measures.

Global Ride-Sharing Market: By Business Model

Based on business models, the global ride-sharing market is categorized into P2P, B2C, and B2B. The P2P (peer-to-peer) business model is projected to witness the highest growth rate by 2028 as numerous ride-sharing services across the world are experimenting with a peer-to-peer business model. Users can contact drivers in their locality through GPS and location services in this business model. Furthermore, people who travel regularly can easily communicate with car owners through their smartphones and tablets.

Global Ride Sharing Market: By Vehicle Type

Based on vehicle types, the global ride sharing market is segmented into ICE, CNG/LPG, and electric-based. Out of these, ICE (internal combustion engines) is the dominant segment. There are two types of internal combustion engines: the compression ignition diesel engine and the spark ignition gasoline engine. Most of these are four-stroke cycle engines, meaning four piston strokes are required to complete a cycle. Additionally, tthe automotive ICE segment is expected to see significant growth due to the growing demand for vehicle, which will lead to a surge in demand for high-performance engines with low carbon emissions.

Global Ride Sharing Market: Regional Insights

North America dominates the ride-sharing market as a result of the shifting inclination of residents in the U.S. and Canada toward lowest environmental emissions. The Asia-Pacific is also predicted to expand at a significant growth rate over the forecast period due to the growing demand for ride- sharing services in countries, such as India and China. Additionally, the soaring demand for electric cars in ride-sharing systems, as well as increasing vehicle ownership costs and stringent CO2 reduction goals, all add to the growth of the ride-sharing industry. Also, the growing need for cost-effective and alternative transportation options is driving the growth of the ride-sharing industry, which is propelling the market forward.

Recent Developments

• In January 2022, Ford Motor Company, Lyft and Argo AI launched a self-driving car service in Miami, U.S., in line with their goal of deploying self-driving cars, powered by Argo's self-driving system, on Lyft's ride-share platform.

• In January 2022, Uber announced that it has acquired Car Next Door, an Australian company set up in 2012 to provide easy access to cars for renters, while earning revenue for car owners. It is easy to turn any car into a shared car with the peer-to-peer car-sharing platform.
