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, the ease of renting e-scooters through mobile applications is appealing to tech-savvy customers who value convenience and flexibility in their transportation options.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the e-scooter-sharing market in Kuwait is the increasing number of service providers entering the market.

Kuwait has a high smartphone penetration rate, with a large percentage of the population owning smartphones. This widespread smartphone usage facilitates the adoption of e-scooter sharing services, as customers can easily access and use mobile applications to rent e-scooters. Furthermore, Kuwait has a young population with a high disposable income. This demographic is more likely to embrace new technologies and prioritize convenience in their transportation choices. As a result, there is a strong demand for e-scooter sharing services among this demographic, driving the growth of the market.
