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 E-Scooter-sharing market has seen significant growth and development in recent years, with a number of factors driving this trend.

Customer preferences: Customers are increasingly looking for convenient and eco-friendly transportation options, and e-scooter sharing services provide a solution to this demand. E-scooters are compact, easy to use, and can navigate through traffic congestion, making them a popular choice for short-distance travel in urban areas. Additionally, the affordability and flexibility of e-scooter sharing services appeal to a wide range of customers, including commuters, students, and tourists.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the e-scooter sharing market is the expansion of services to new cities and countries worldwide. As more cities embrace the concept of micromobility and adopt regulations to accommodate e-scooter sharing, companies are seizing the opportunity to enter new markets. This expansion is driven by the potential for high demand and the opportunity to establish a strong presence in emerging markets. Another trend is the integration of e-scooter sharing services with existing transportation networks. Many cities are working towards creating a seamless multimodal transportation system, where e-scooters can be easily accessed and used in conjunction with other modes of transportation such as buses, trains, and bicycles. This integration not only enhances the overall transportation experience for users but also helps to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce carbon emissions.

Local special circumstances: The development of the e-scooter sharing market is influenced by local factors and circumstances in each country. For example, in densely populated cities with limited parking spaces, e-scooters offer a convenient alternative to traditional cars or motorcycles. In tourist destinations, e-scooter sharing services cater to the needs of visitors who want to explore the city without the hassle of renting a car or relying on public transportation. Additionally, countries with a strong focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions are more likely to embrace e-scooter sharing as a viable transportation option.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the e-scooter sharing market is also supported by underlying macroeconomic factors. The rise of the sharing economy, advancements in technology, and the increasing availability of affordable electric scooters have all contributed to the expansion of e-scooter sharing services. Furthermore, government initiatives and policies that promote sustainable transportation and reduce reliance on private vehicles have created a favorable environment for e-scooter sharing companies to thrive. In conclusion, the e-scooter sharing market is experiencing significant growth and development worldwide due to customer preferences for convenient and eco-friendly transportation options. The expansion of services to new cities and countries, the integration with existing transportation networks, and the influence of local special circumstances are all driving this trend. Additionally, underlying macroeconomic factors such as the rise of the sharing economy and government initiatives to promote sustainable transportation play a significant role in the development of the market.
