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 Colombia is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Colombian customers are increasingly opting for e-scooter-sharing services due to their convenience and affordability. The younger population, in particular, is attracted to the ease of use and the ability to navigate through congested urban areas quickly. Additionally, the environmentally friendly nature of e-scooters aligns with the growing sustainability consciousness among consumers.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the e-scooter-sharing market in Colombia is the entry of multiple players. Several local and international companies have entered the market, leading to increased competition and innovation. This has resulted in improved services, such as better app interfaces, longer battery life, and enhanced safety features. Another trend is the expansion of e-scooter-sharing services beyond major cities. Initially, these services were concentrated in urban centers, but they are now expanding to smaller cities and towns. This expansion is driven by the increasing demand for last-mile transportation solutions in these areas.

    Local special circumstances:
    Colombia's urban areas face significant traffic congestion, making e-scooters an attractive alternative to traditional modes of transportation. The compact size and maneuverability of e-scooters allow users to navigate through traffic more efficiently, saving time and reducing frustration. Additionally, the warm climate in Colombia makes e-scooters a popular choice for short-distance travel. The pleasant weather encourages people to choose outdoor transportation options, and e-scooters provide a convenient and enjoyable way to get around.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Colombia's growing middle class and increasing urbanization have contributed to the development of the e-scooter-sharing market. As more people move to cities and experience the challenges of urban transportation, there is a greater demand for alternative mobility solutions. Furthermore, the government's support for sustainable transportation initiatives has played a role in the growth of the e-scooter-sharing market. Policies promoting eco-friendly transportation options and reducing carbon emissions have encouraged the adoption of e-scooters as a viable mode of transportation. In conclusion, the e-scooter-sharing market in Colombia is witnessing rapid growth due to customer preferences for convenience and affordability, as well as the expansion of services beyond major cities. The local special circumstances of traffic congestion and a warm climate further contribute to the popularity of e-scooters. Additionally, underlying macroeconomic factors, such as urbanization and government support for sustainable transportation, are driving the market's development.
