Definition:

The E-Scooter-sharing market comprises e-scooter-sharing services that provide short-term rentals of electric motorized scooters (stand-up scooters). In e-scooter-sharing, scooters are generally owned by an e-scooter-sharing provider and can be reserved independently by customers around the clock. Customers are required to open an account with the e-scooter-sharing provider and can then reserve the vehicles, typically with a smartphone app. Providers normally offer dockless services, so it is possible to find e-scooters everywhere within the provider’s business zone, e.g., on sidewalks, and to leave the scooters anywhere in accordance with traffic regulations. Moped-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 E-Scooter-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.

    Analyst Opinion

    The E-Scooter-sharing market in Argentina is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Argentina are increasingly turning to e-scooter sharing as a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation. The younger population, in particular, is embracing this trend, as they are more open to adopting new technologies and are conscious about reducing their carbon footprint. Additionally, the ease of use and flexibility of e-scooters make them attractive to urban dwellers who are looking for alternative transportation options to avoid traffic congestion and parking issues.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the e-scooter-sharing market in Argentina is the expansion of service providers in major cities. Both local and international companies are entering the market to capitalize on the growing demand. This has led to increased competition, resulting in improved service quality and lower prices for customers. Furthermore, e-scooter-sharing companies are constantly innovating and introducing new features to enhance the user experience, such as improved battery life, GPS tracking, and mobile app integration.

    Local special circumstances:
    Argentina's large urban centers, such as Buenos Aires, have a high population density and limited parking spaces. This makes e-scooter sharing an attractive option for short-distance travel, as it allows users to easily navigate through traffic and find parking in crowded areas. Additionally, the relatively flat terrain in many parts of the country makes it ideal for e-scooter usage, further contributing to the market's growth.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The economic situation in Argentina has also played a role in the development of the e-scooter-sharing market. The country has faced economic challenges in recent years, including high inflation and currency devaluation. As a result, many individuals are seeking more affordable transportation options, and e-scooter sharing provides a cost-effective alternative to owning a car or using ride-hailing services. Additionally, the government has been supportive of sustainable transportation initiatives, which has further encouraged the growth of the e-scooter-sharing market. In conclusion, the e-scooter-sharing market in Argentina is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for convenience and eco-friendly transportation, the expansion of service providers, local special circumstances such as high population density and limited parking spaces, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as affordability and government support for sustainable transportation. This market is expected to continue to develop and evolve as more individuals embrace e-scooter sharing as a viable mode of transportation.

This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.
