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 Lithuania is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences: Customers in Lithuania are increasingly opting for car-sharing services due to several reasons. Firstly, car-sharing provides a cost-effective alternative to owning a car, especially in urban areas where parking and maintenance costs can be high. Additionally, car-sharing allows for greater flexibility and convenience, as customers can access a vehicle whenever they need it without the hassle of ownership. Moreover, the younger generation, who are more conscious about environmental sustainability, are actively choosing car-sharing as a greener transportation option.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the car-sharing market in Lithuania is the rise of peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms. These platforms connect car owners with individuals who need a vehicle on a short-term basis. This trend is driven by the increasing popularity of the sharing economy and the desire for individuals to monetize their underutilized assets. Peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms offer a wider variety of vehicle options and can often provide more affordable rates compared to traditional car-sharing companies. Another trend in the market is the integration of car-sharing services with other modes of transportation. Many car-sharing companies in Lithuania are partnering with public transportation providers to offer seamless and integrated mobility solutions. This allows customers to combine car-sharing with other modes of transportation, such as buses or trains, to optimize their travel experience. Such integration is especially beneficial in areas with limited public transportation options or for longer trips where a car is needed for part of the journey.

Local special circumstances: Lithuania has a relatively high car ownership rate compared to other European countries. However, the car-sharing market is still growing due to changing attitudes towards car ownership and the increasing popularity of alternative transportation options. The country's small size and well-developed transportation infrastructure also make it conducive to car-sharing services. Additionally, the government has been supportive of the car-sharing industry by implementing policies and regulations that promote its growth.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The economic growth and stability in Lithuania have contributed to the development of the car-sharing market. As the country's economy continues to grow, more individuals have disposable income to spend on transportation services. Furthermore, the increasing urbanization and congestion in major cities like Vilnius and Kaunas have created a demand for alternative transportation options, leading to the growth of the car-sharing market. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Lithuania is experiencing growth and development due to customer preferences for cost-effective and flexible transportation options. The rise of peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms and the integration of car-sharing services with other modes of transportation are key trends in the market. The country's high car ownership rate, supportive government policies, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and urbanization are also contributing to the development of the car-sharing market in Lithuania.
