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 Kenya has been experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.
Customer preferences: Customers in Kenya are increasingly looking for more affordable and convenient transportation options. The rise of urbanization and traffic congestion in major cities like Nairobi has led to a growing demand for alternative modes of transportation. Car-sharing services provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for individuals looking to avoid the hassles of owning a car in a congested city.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Car-sharing market in Kenya is the adoption of technology. Companies offering car-sharing services are leveraging mobile apps and digital platforms to streamline the booking process, improve user experience, and optimize fleet management. This technological advancement has made it easier for customers to access and use car-sharing services, contributing to the market's growth.
Local special circumstances: In Kenya, the car-sharing market is also influenced by the growing awareness of environmental sustainability. With increasing concerns about pollution and carbon emissions, more Kenyan consumers are seeking eco-friendly transportation options. Car-sharing services, which promote carpooling and reduce the overall number of vehicles on the road, align with the country's sustainability goals. This emphasis on environmental consciousness is driving the adoption of car-sharing services among environmentally conscious consumers in Kenya.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The development of the Car-sharing market in Kenya is also supported by favorable macroeconomic factors. The country's growing middle class, rising disposable incomes, and increasing urbanization are creating a conducive environment for the expansion of shared mobility services. As more Kenyans move to urban centers and seek convenient transportation options, the demand for car-sharing services is expected to continue growing. Additionally, the government's efforts to improve transportation infrastructure and reduce traffic congestion are further fueling the growth of the car-sharing market in Kenya.
