Bicycles are estimated to be the largest ride sharing market, by micro-mobility vehicle type

Bicycles have the largest market globally in terms of their usage in the micro-mobility ride sharing market. They are eco-friendly, cheap, less time consuming, comfortable for short rides, and easily available. All these make bicycles a preferred choice. It is necessary to follow social distancing to control the spread of COVID-19, which can be established through station-based mobility.

Payment service is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period

The payment service market is growing at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Ridesharing service providers use payment gateways for online payment processing. International expansion of ride-sharing service providers and payments in foreign currency is likely to boost the growth of the payment service segment. In the post-pandemic period, users would prefer app-based payments instead of cash to minimize the chances of infection.

Electric vehicles have the potential to disrupt the ride sharing market in the future

During the analysis of COVID-19, it is observed that the pollution level of most of the cities has gone down. According to a study by Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health, cities with more air pollution (PM 2.5) are more susceptible to coronavirus infections. On similar lines, the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) mentions that air pollution causes diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory diseases—the underlying health conditions that make coronavirus more deadly. Keeping this in mind, electric vehicles would be a better option for ride-sharing companies. The electric vehicle market is growing at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to favorable government policies, better infrastructure, and growing awareness about CO2 emissions. IC engine vehicles have the largest share in the ride sharing market as these vehicles are most widely adopted and used globally.
