Top Companies in the Car Sharing Industry

The global car sharing market size reached US$ 7.0 Billion in 2022. Carsharing is a car rental service wherein individuals rent cars for a short time. It helps passengers to save money, achieves environmental goals, reduces the total distance traveled by the vehicle, decreases personal car ownership, improves urban land use and development, and provides affordable access to vehicles. At present, the rising need for cost-effective and convenient mobility services and technological advancements that facilitate simplified access to shared mobility platforms is positively influencing market growth.

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top car sharing companies are introducing peer-to-peer (P2P) lending services, which allow private car owners to rent personal cars that are not in regular use to prospective renters as per their requirements. They are also collaborating with technology providers, such as EasyMile, Apple, and Google, to develop user-friendly applications for vehicle-sharing services. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 15.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
