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 Car-sharing market in Myanmar is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences: One of the main reasons for the growth of the car-sharing market in Myanmar is the changing preferences of customers. With the increasing urbanization and population density in major cities like Yangon and Mandalay, people are looking for convenient and cost-effective transportation options. Car-sharing provides a flexible and affordable alternative to owning a car, allowing customers to access a vehicle when needed without the hassle of maintenance, parking, and insurance.

Trends in the market: The car-sharing market in Myanmar is witnessing a surge in demand due to various trends. Firstly, the rise of smartphone penetration and the availability of mobile apps have made it easier for customers to access car-sharing services. Users can simply download an app, register, and book a car with a few taps on their smartphones. This convenience has attracted a large number of customers, especially among the younger generation who are tech-savvy and value convenience. Secondly, the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability is also driving the growth of the car-sharing market in Myanmar. As people become more conscious of their carbon footprint and the impact of private car ownership on the environment, they are opting for greener transportation options. Car-sharing allows multiple users to share a single vehicle, reducing the number of cars on the road and contributing to a more sustainable transportation system.

Local special circumstances: Myanmar's car-sharing market is also influenced by local special circumstances. The country has a growing middle class with increasing disposable income, which has led to a higher demand for convenient and affordable transportation options. Additionally, the lack of a well-developed public transportation system in Myanmar, especially in suburban and rural areas, creates a gap that car-sharing companies can fill. By providing access to transportation in areas with limited public transport options, car-sharing services cater to the needs of a wide range of customers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Several macroeconomic factors contribute to the development of the car-sharing market in Myanmar. The country's strong economic growth and rising urbanization have resulted in increased mobility needs. As more people move to cities for better job opportunities and a higher standard of living, the demand for transportation services, including car-sharing, has grown. Furthermore, the government's efforts to improve infrastructure and attract foreign investment have created a favorable business environment for car-sharing companies to operate and expand their services. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Myanmar is experiencing rapid growth due to changing customer preferences, technological advancements, and local special circumstances. The convenience, affordability, and environmental benefits of car-sharing have made it an attractive transportation option for many residents in Myanmar. With the continued economic development and urbanization in the country, the car-sharing market is expected to further expand in the coming years.
