Post-COVID-19, the global ride sharing market size is projected to grow at a Y-O-Y growth of 55.6% from 2020 to 2021, to reach USD 117.34 billion by 2021 from USD 75.39 billion in 2020. The projection for 2021 is estimated to be down by 2% as compared to pre-COVID-19 estimation.
The major drivers of this market include the growing need for personal mobility in the wake of rising urbanization and fall in car ownership. Also, growing internet and smartphone penetration and stringent CO2 reduction targets are leading to the high growth of the ride sharing market.
In the past few years, car sharing has gained popularity due to several positive factors such as reduced travel costs, traffic congestion, and emissions. However, with the impact of COVID-19, the car sharing market is estimated to lose its share by 50–60% during 2020. Furthermore, by 2021, it will gain its market by 70–80% because of new strategies like providing partitions to keep the distance between driver and passenger, equipping the vehicle with sanitizers, and installing devices to measure the body temperature of passengers to eliminate the threat of such infections in future. However, at the same time, it is expected that fares would increase due to the added precautionary measures.
The payment service market is growing at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Ride sharing service providers use payment gateways for online payment processing. International expansion of ride sharing service providers and payments in foreign currency are likely to boost the growth of the payment service segment. In the post pandemic period, users would prefer app-based payments instead of cash to minimize the chances of infection.
During the analysis of COVID-19, it is observed that pollution level of most of the cities has gone down. According to a study by Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health, cities with more air pollution (PM 2.5) are more susceptible to coronavirus infections. On similar lines, the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) mentions that air pollution causes diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory diseases—the underlying health conditions that make coronavirus more deadly. Keeping this in mind, electric vehicles would be a better option for ride sharing companies. The electric vehicle market is growing at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to favorable government policies, better infrastructure, and growing awareness about CO2 emissions. IC engine vehicles have the largest share in the ride sharing market as these vehicles are most widely adopted and used globally.
The ride sharing market is dominated by global players and comprises several regional players. Some of the key players in the ride sharing market are Uber (US), Lyft (US), DiDi (China), Grab (Singapore), Gett (Israel), Ola (India), BlaBlaCar (France), Lime (US), and Herts (US).
Uber and DiDi are anticipated to be the dominant players in the ride sharing market. Both the companies have adopted the strategies of expansion, new product development, partnership, and merger & acquisition to retain their leading position in the ride sharing market. By strengthening the product portfolio and global presence by building customer relationships, they have left a mark not only on the current market but also emerging markets.

The study involves four main activities to estimate the current size of the ride sharing market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, such as service type, data service type, and the impact of COVID-19. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across value chains through primary research. Bottom-up and top-down approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size for different segments considered under this study.
The secondary sources referred for this research study include annual reports, press releases and investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, directories, databases, and articles from recognized associations and government publishing sources. Some of the sources include Ride Share Drivers' Association of Australia, Association of Internet Users, and United RideShare Driver Association, among others. Various data points have been collected through secondary research such as key company’s revenues, gross booking, number of rides, average cost per ride, and number of drivers.
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the ride sharing market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both the demand- and supply-side players across four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world (RoW—Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report. The primary validations include the base market size, forecasted market size, CAGR, segment level data, and trends of each segment.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject-matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.
