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.

The Car-sharing market in Croatia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and favorable market trends.

Customer preferences: In Croatia, customers are increasingly opting for car-sharing services due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness. Car-sharing allows individuals to access a vehicle when needed without the burden of ownership, making it an attractive option for those who do not require a car on a daily basis. Additionally, car-sharing services often offer a variety of vehicle options, allowing customers to choose the most suitable vehicle for their specific needs.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the car-sharing market in Croatia is the rise of peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms. These platforms connect car owners with individuals in need of a vehicle, providing a more cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional car rental services. This trend has been fueled by advancements in technology and the increasing popularity of the sharing economy. Another trend in the market is the integration of car-sharing services with other modes of transportation. Many car-sharing companies in Croatia are partnering with public transportation providers to offer seamless multi-modal journeys. This integration allows customers to easily switch between different modes of transportation, further enhancing the convenience and accessibility of car-sharing services.

Local special circumstances: Croatia, as a popular tourist destination, has a high demand for car rental services. However, car-sharing offers a more flexible and affordable option for tourists who only need a vehicle for a short period of time. This has led to the growth of car-sharing services specifically targeting tourists, providing them with an alternative to traditional car rental companies.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the car-sharing market in Croatia can also be attributed to favorable macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has created a larger customer base for car-sharing services, as more individuals are able to afford the convenience and flexibility they offer. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Croatia is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, favorable market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The convenience, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility of car-sharing services have made them an attractive option for individuals in Croatia, leading to increased demand and a thriving market.
