Rapid urbanization has intensified traffic congestion, parking challenges, and commuting inefficiencies in cities worldwide, creating demand for alternative mobility solutions. Car sharing addresses these issues by offering shared access to vehicles, optimizing utilization, and minimizing wasted time. Urban authorities are supporting the adoption of shared mobility in densely populated areas with limited road networks and parking infrastructure, which accelerates implementation. Companies in this sector are actively pursuing inorganic growth strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and launching innovative services to remain competitive. Rising costs associated with car ownership, including purchase, maintenance, fuel, insurance, and parking, are discouraging individuals from owning personal vehicles. Car sharing allows users to convert fixed ownership costs into usage-based expenses, providing financial flexibility. This model appeals strongly to urban professionals, cost-conscious households, and younger consumers seeking occasional vehicle access. The integration of mobile applications, GPS tracking, telematics, and digital payments has enhanced convenience, enabling seamless booking, real-time vehicle tracking, and contactless access, which improves overall user experience and operational efficiency.
The economy car segment held 58% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% from 2026 to 2035. Economy vehicles are favored by budget-conscious city dwellers because of their low rental fees, fuel efficiency, and minimal maintenance costs. They are ideal for short-distance trips and everyday travel, which drives frequent bookings and high utilization rates. Consequently, economy cars form the backbone of most car sharing fleets worldwide and remain a critical component of the market’s growth strategy.
The SUV segment accounted for 45% share in 2025 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2026 to 2035. The popularity of SUVs in shared fleets is driven by their spacious interiors, elevated seating, and enhanced comfort. Users often prefer SUVs for group travel, family outings, and trips requiring extra luggage capacity. Their versatility across different usage scenarios leads to higher booking frequency and increased adoption within shared mobility platforms, making them a vital segment for fleet operators seeking to maximize utilization and revenue.
