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.

The E-Scooter-sharing market in Australia has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: Customers in Australia are increasingly looking for convenient and affordable transportation options. E-Scooter-sharing provides a flexible and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional modes of transportation such as cars or public transport. The ease of use and accessibility of e-scooters appeals to a wide range of customers, including commuters, tourists, and students. Additionally, the younger generation, in particular, is drawn to the tech-savvy nature of e-scooter-sharing, as it aligns with their digital lifestyles.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Australian E-Scooter-sharing market is the expansion of services to new cities and regions. Initially concentrated in major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, e-scooter-sharing companies are now expanding their operations to smaller cities and regional areas. This expansion is driven by the success of e-scooter-sharing in larger cities and the recognition of the demand for convenient transportation options in other areas. Another trend in the market is the increasing competition among e-scooter-sharing companies. With the growing popularity of e-scooters, more companies are entering the market, leading to a greater choice for customers. This competition is driving innovation and improvements in the quality of e-scooters and the overall user experience.

Local special circumstances: Australia's urban landscape and climate contribute to the growth of the E-Scooter-sharing market. The country has a relatively mild climate, which makes it conducive for outdoor activities such as riding e-scooters. Additionally, Australia's cities are known for their compact layouts and well-connected infrastructure, making them ideal for e-scooter-sharing services. The availability of bike lanes and dedicated paths for alternative modes of transportation further enhances the appeal of e-scooters.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Australia's strong economy and high urbanization rate have also contributed to the growth of the E-Scooter-sharing market. With a high proportion of the population living in urban areas, there is a greater demand for efficient and sustainable transportation options. The country's robust economy has also provided a favorable environment for investment in the e-scooter-sharing sector, enabling companies to expand their operations and improve their services. In conclusion, the E-Scooter-sharing market in Australia is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, the expansion of services to new cities and regions, local special circumstances such as the urban landscape and climate, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as a strong economy and high urbanization rate. The future of the market looks promising, with further growth expected as more customers embrace the convenience and sustainability of e-scooter-sharing.
