Global On-demand Transportation Services Market Overview & Scope:

The Global On-demand Transportation Services Market is segmented by:

• Type: The global on-demand transportation services market by type is segmented into ride-sharing, vehicle rental/leasing, and ride-sourcing. Ride-sharing is an emerging trend apart from ride-hailing in the on-demand transportation market. Uberpool and Lyft provide platforms that will benefit customers at a low cost.
• Vehicle Type: The vehicle type is segmented into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, buses & coaches, and micro-mobility. The use of passenger cars for ride-sharing and ride-sourcing is very common. Thus, this segment’s expansion is being driven mainly by a surge in demand for ride-sharing and ride-sourcing services. The light commercial vehicle segment is also likely to hold a substantial market share due to the rise in rental and leasing services of vehicles for goods transportation.

• Application: The application is segmented into passenger transportation and goods transportation. Passenger transportation is the most significant service sector. Its primary function is transporting a single person or group from one location to another. Moreover, the growing need for personal mobility, particularly in cities and towns, is also increasing the segment growth.
• Region: North America recorded a high market share due to the growing demand for electric vehicles and the rising need for road safety.

Global On-demand Transportation Services Market Growth Drivers vs. Challenges

Opportunities:

• Zero Emission Vehicles: Zero-emission cars are anticipated to improve operational efficiency and satisfy the public's evolving needs and preferences in on-demand transportation. Over time, ZEVs are becoming more affordable due to the declining cost of batteries. The market for on-demand transportation is anticipated to grow significantly as more people switch to zero-emission vehicles with the support of government organizations, incentive funding, and installment payment plans for vehicle batteries.
• Growing Urbanization: On-demand transportation services have the potential for urbanization, which is attracting governments. Therefore, governments are implementing various laws and rules encouraging the industry's expansion. This entails making infrastructural investments to facilitate autonomous and electric vehicles as well as guaranteeing safety and fair competition in the market.

Challenges:

• High Costs:  On-demand transportation has many benefits, but its main disadvantage is that it is more expensive. Micro-transit is generally viewed as less competitive because its fares are three times that of normal public transportation. A customized transit option, on-demand transportation transports fewer passengers over longer distances. It must, therefore, cover the full cost of the fuel and labour.
