Definition:

The Bike-sharing market includes short-term bike-sharing services. In bike-sharing services, bicycles are generally owned by a bike-sharing provider and are independently reserved by customers around the clock. Customers are required to open an account with the bike-sharing provider and can then reserve bicycles. This is usually done with a smartphone app, but there are also service providers that allow reservations to be made via the provider's website, by telephone, or at a terminal.

The two most frequently used bike-sharing varieties are the following: station-based (e.g., Stadtrad and Citi Bike New York) and free-floating (such as nextbike and ofo). With station-based bike-sharing, a bicycle is retrieved from a bike-sharing station and returned to either the same station or dropped off at another station. With free-floating bike-sharing, it is possible to find bicycles everywhere within the service provider's business zone and leave the bicycle anywhere in accordance with traffic regulations. Peer-to-peer bike-sharing is not included in the market definition of this market. Moped-sharing services are not available in all countries; thus, only a limited number of countries and regions can be selected.

Additional Information:

The main performance indicators of the Bike-sharing market are revenues, average revenue per user (ARPU), user numbers and user penetration rates. Additionally, online and offline sales channel shares display the distribution of online and offline bookings. The ARPU refers to the average revenue one user generates per year while the revenue represents the total booking volume. Revenues are generated through both online and offline sales channels and include exclusively B2C revenues and users for the mentioned market. User numbers show only those individuals who have made a reservation, independent of the number of travelers on the booking. Each user is only counted once per year.

The booking volume includes all booked rides made by users from the selected region, regardless of where the ride took place.

Customer preferences in the Bike-sharing market in NAFTA are driving the development of the industry.

Each country within NAFTA has its own unique circumstances that contribute to the growth of bike-sharing. For example, in the United States, the increasing urbanization of cities and the desire for alternative transportation options in congested areas are driving the adoption of bike-sharing. In Mexico, the high cost of car ownership and limited public transportation options make bike-sharing an attractive alternative for many residents. These local circumstances create a favorable environment for the growth of the Bike-sharing market.

Economic growth and increasing disposable incomes are enabling more people to afford bike-sharing services.

In conclusion, the Bike-sharing market in NAFTA is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.
