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.

Car-sharing is becoming increasingly popular in Slovakia, with a growing number of people opting for this convenient and cost-effective transportation option. The market for car-sharing services in Slovakia has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: One of the key reasons behind the growth of the car-sharing market in Slovakia is the changing preferences of customers. Many people are now looking for more flexible and affordable transportation options, and car-sharing provides exactly that. With car-sharing services, customers can access a vehicle whenever they need it, without the hassle of owning and maintaining a car. This appeals to individuals who do not require a car on a daily basis but still need occasional access to a vehicle for various purposes.

Trends in the market: One of the prominent trends in the car-sharing market in Slovakia is the rise of electric car-sharing services. As the country strives to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable transportation, electric car-sharing has gained traction. This trend is in line with the global shift towards electric mobility, and it is expected to continue driving the growth of the car-sharing market in Slovakia. Another trend in the market is the integration of car-sharing services with other modes of transportation. Many car-sharing providers in Slovakia are partnering with public transportation companies and ride-hailing platforms to offer seamless multi-modal transportation solutions. This integration allows customers to easily switch between different modes of transportation, further enhancing the convenience and flexibility of car-sharing.

Local special circumstances: Slovakia's urban areas, particularly the capital city of Bratislava, face issues such as traffic congestion and limited parking spaces. These factors make car ownership less appealing for many residents, leading them to explore alternative transportation options like car-sharing. Additionally, the relatively high cost of car ownership, including fuel and maintenance expenses, motivates people to opt for more cost-effective alternatives like car-sharing.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growing car-sharing market in Slovakia is also influenced by macroeconomic factors. The country's economy has been steadily growing, leading to an increase in disposable income and a higher standard of living for many individuals. This has resulted in a greater demand for convenient and flexible transportation options, which car-sharing fulfills. Furthermore, the advancements in technology and the widespread use of smartphones have made it easier for car-sharing providers to connect with customers and offer seamless booking and payment options. The convenience and accessibility provided by technology have significantly contributed to the growth of the car-sharing market in Slovakia. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Slovakia is witnessing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends, and local special circumstances. The demand for flexible and affordable transportation options, the rise of electric car-sharing, integration with other modes of transportation, and the challenges of car ownership in urban areas are driving the growth of this market. Additionally, macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and technological advancements have further fueled the expansion of car-sharing services in Slovakia.
