Leading ride-hailing operators worldwide by market share 2022

Uber dominated the global market for ride-hailing, with a market share of 25 percent in 2022. Lyft was ranked a distant second with a market share of eight percent.

North American market remains key to Uber's revenue

In recent years, Uber has expanded outside its home market in North America. Revenues in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have grown particularly strongly, more than doubling between 2021 and 2022. However, the U.S. and Canada continue to account for the company's highest revenue. In 2022, revenue from North America made up 61 percent of Uber's global revenue.

Competition from Lyft

Globally, Lyft can only claim eight percent of the ride-hailing market share. The company only operates in the United States and Canada, limiting its ability to gain new users. In the United States, however, the company has a much larger share of the market. As of September 2023, Lyft controlled around a quarter of the U.S. ride-hailing market. Lyft has been losing market share, though. In 2021, Lyft had still held around a quarter of the market, losing ground to Uber.
