Analyst Opinion

The Car-sharing market in Australia is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences: Car-sharing services have become increasingly popular among Australian consumers due to several factors. Firstly, the rising cost of car ownership, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance, has made car-sharing a more affordable alternative. Additionally, the convenience and flexibility of being able to access a car when needed, without the burden of ownership, is appealing to many Australians. The younger generation, in particular, values the freedom and environmental benefits that car-sharing provides.

Trends in the market: One key trend in the Australian car-sharing market is the expansion of both traditional car-sharing companies and ride-hailing platforms offering car-sharing services. This trend is driven by the increased demand for flexible mobility solutions and the desire for more sustainable transportation options. As a result, car-sharing services are becoming more accessible and widespread across the country. Another trend in the market is the emergence of electric car-sharing services. With the growing focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, many car-sharing companies in Australia are incorporating electric vehicles into their fleets. This trend aligns with the government's push for cleaner transportation and the increasing availability of charging infrastructure.

Local special circumstances: Australia's vast geography and relatively low population density present unique challenges and opportunities for the car-sharing market. In urban areas with high population density, car-sharing services are thriving due to the convenience and cost-effectiveness they offer. However, in regional and remote areas, the market is less developed due to the limited demand and availability of vehicles.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Several macroeconomic factors contribute to the development of the car-sharing market in Australia. Firstly, the country's strong economy and high disposable income levels enable more Australians to afford car-sharing services. Additionally, the government's support for sustainable transportation and initiatives to reduce congestion and carbon emissions further drive the growth of the car-sharing market. In conclusion, the car-sharing market in Australia is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences for affordability, convenience, and sustainability. The expansion of both traditional car-sharing companies and ride-hailing platforms, as well as the emergence of electric car-sharing services, are key trends in the market. However, the unique geography and population distribution in Australia present challenges for the market's development in regional and remote areas. Overall, the strong economy and government support for sustainable transportation are underlying macroeconomic factors that contribute to the growth of the car-sharing market in Australia.

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and online shares of car-sharing services.

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, third-party studies and reports, federal statistical offices, industry associations, and price data. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as demographic data, GDP, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device usage. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied.
