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 Netherlands has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the introduction of new technologies.

Customer preferences: In Netherlands, there is a growing preference for more sustainable and cost-effective transportation options. Car-sharing provides an attractive alternative to car ownership, allowing individuals to access a vehicle when needed without the associated costs and responsibilities. This is particularly appealing to younger generations who prioritize convenience and flexibility over car ownership. Additionally, the increasing urbanization in Netherlands has led to a rise in demand for shared mobility solutions, as people seek efficient and convenient ways to navigate crowded cities.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Car-sharing market in Netherlands is the emergence of new business models and technologies. Traditional car rental companies are now offering car-sharing services, allowing customers to rent vehicles for shorter periods of time. Furthermore, the rise of ride-hailing platforms has also contributed to the growth of car-sharing, as these platforms often integrate car-sharing options within their apps. This convergence of different mobility services has created a more seamless and integrated experience for customers. Another trend in the market is the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in car-sharing fleets. Netherlands has been at the forefront of the EV revolution, with a strong focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. Car-sharing companies are capitalizing on this trend by incorporating EVs into their fleets, providing customers with a greener and more environmentally friendly transportation option. The government's support for EV adoption through incentives and infrastructure development has further accelerated this trend.

Local special circumstances: Netherlands has a well-developed public transportation system, with extensive networks of trains, trams, and buses. This, coupled with the country's compact size, makes it easier for people to rely on public transportation for their daily commute. However, there are still situations where having access to a car is necessary, such as for longer trips or when carrying heavy items. Car-sharing fills this gap by providing a convenient and flexible solution for those occasional car needs.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Car-sharing market in Netherlands is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as population growth, urbanization, and income levels. As the population continues to grow and more people move to urban areas, the demand for car-sharing services is expected to increase. Additionally, the rising disposable income levels in Netherlands have made car-sharing more affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the population. In conclusion, the Car-sharing market in Netherlands is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, the adoption of new technologies, and the country's unique circumstances. The shift towards more sustainable and cost-effective transportation options, the emergence of new business models, and the increasing adoption of EVs are all contributing to the expansion of the car-sharing market in Netherlands.
