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.

    The E-Scooter-sharing market in Iran has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Iran are increasingly turning to e-scooter sharing as a convenient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. The younger generation, in particular, is attracted to the ease of use and affordability of e-scooters. Additionally, the compact size of these vehicles makes them ideal for navigating through the congested streets of Iranian cities.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the e-scooter sharing market in Iran is the rapid expansion of service providers. Several companies have entered the market, offering a wide range of e-scooter options to cater to different customer preferences. This competition has led to lower prices and improved service quality, making e-scooter sharing an attractive option for a growing number of Iranians. Another trend in the market is the integration of e-scooter sharing services with existing transportation networks. Many cities in Iran have implemented bike lanes and designated parking areas for e-scooters, making it easier for users to access and park their vehicles. This integration has further contributed to the popularity of e-scooter sharing as a viable transportation option.

    Local special circumstances:
    Iran's large and densely populated cities, such as Tehran and Mashhad, face significant traffic congestion and air pollution. E-scooter sharing provides a solution to these challenges by offering a more efficient and sustainable mode of transportation. The government has also recognized the potential benefits of e-scooters and has taken steps to support the growth of the market.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:

Firstly, the country has a young and tech-savvy population, which is more open to adopting innovative transportation solutions. Secondly, the improving economic conditions in Iran have led to an increase in disposable income, allowing more people to afford e-scooter sharing services. Lastly, the government's focus on reducing air pollution and promoting sustainable transportation has created a favorable environment for the growth of the e-scooter sharing market. In conclusion, the e-scooter sharing market in Iran is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for convenience and affordability, as well as local circumstances such as traffic congestion and air pollution.
