Definition:
The Car-sharing market encompasses car-sharing services. Car-sharing service providers own the vehicles that customers can book independently at any time. Customers need to enter into a contract with the service provider in order to be able to book vehicles via a smartphone app, the website of the service provider, or by telephone. The vehicle is usually opened via smartphone or a chip card. Some service providers, however, provide the car key in a key safe at the car-sharing station. Prices are calculated per minute or hour, with the money being debited from the customer's bank account. Peer-to-peer car-sharing is not included in this market. Car-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 Car-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.

The Car-sharing market in Australia is experiencing significant growth and development.
Customer preferences: Car-sharing services have become increasingly popular among Australian consumers due to several factors. Firstly, the rising cost of car ownership, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance, has made car-sharing a more affordable alternative. Additionally, the convenience and flexibility of being able to access a car when needed, without the burden of ownership, is appealing to many Australians. The younger generation, in particular, values the freedom and environmental benefits that car-sharing provides.
Trends in the market: One key trend in the Australian car-sharing market is the expansion of both traditional car-sharing companies and ride-hailing platforms offering car-sharing services. This trend is driven by the increased demand for flexible mobility solutions and the desire for more sustainable transportation options. As a result, car-sharing services are becoming more accessible and widespread across the country. Another trend in the market is the emergence of electric car-sharing services. With the growing focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, many car-sharing companies in Australia are incorporating electric vehicles into their fleets. This trend aligns with the government's push for cleaner transportation and the increasing availability of charging infrastructure.
Local special circumstances: Australia's vast geography and relatively low population density present unique challenges and opportunities for the car-sharing market. In urban areas with high population density, car-sharing services are thriving due to the convenience and cost-effectiveness they offer. However, in regional and remote areas, the market is less developed due to the limited demand and availability of vehicles.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Several macroeconomic factors contribute to the development of the car-sharing market in Australia. Firstly, the country's strong economy and high disposable income levels enable more Australians to afford car-sharing services. Additionally, the government's support for sustainable transportation and initiatives to reduce congestion and carbon emissions further drive the growth of the car-sharing market. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Australia is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for affordability, convenience, and sustainability. The expansion of both traditional car-sharing companies and ride-hailing platforms, as well as the emergence of electric car-sharing services, are key trends in the market. However, the unique geography and population distribution in Australia present challenges for the market's development in regional and remote areas. Overall, the strong economy and government support for sustainable transportation are underlying macroeconomic factors that contribute to the growth of the car-sharing market in Australia.

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, third-party studies and reports, federal statistical offices, industry associations, and price data.

This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied.Additional notes:
