With the deterioration of the air quality levels, on account of the increasing emission of toxic gases from vehicles, the governments of many countries are taking initiatives for encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly mobility solutions, such as carsharing services. These services are highly effective in reducing air pollution, as their mushrooming deployment would lead to a sharp reduction in the number of private vehicles running on roads, thereby causing a sharp fall in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Depending on car type, the market is classified into executive, luxury, and economy categories. Out of these, the executive category dominated the market in 2020. The category is also predicted to expand massively in the P2P carsharing industry in the coming years, owing to the lower fare for rides on these vehicles considering the quality and comfort that they provide in comparison to the economy and luxury cars. Geographically, the APAC region is predicted to be the fastest growing region in the market throughout the forecast period.
This is attributed to the rapid deployment of electric automobiles and innovative mobility services in regional countries, such as India and China. Additionally, in order to mitigate the surging pollution levels, the adoption of electric vehicles in carsharing services in China is soaring. Moreover, the peer-to-peer carsharing market is predicted to exhibit huge expansion in the country in the forthcoming years, primarily because of the sustained government backing being provided in the form of various incentives and laws.
Hence, it is quite clear that the market will register rapid advancement in the years to come, mainly because of the growing popularity of peer-to-peer carsharing services, owing to their ability to provide greater convenience and comfort than private vehicles, the rising requirement for greener mobility solutions, surging road congestion, especially in urban areas, and the mushrooming deployment of electric vehicles in peer-to-peer carsharing services across the world.
