The increasing travel and tourism activities are expected to drive the growth of the shared vehicles market in the future. Travel refers to the movement of people or goods using various modes of transportation, such as airplanes, boats, and trains, between different geographical locations. Tourism, on the other hand, is a social, cultural, and economic phenomenon that involves individuals traveling to places outside their usual environment for personal or professional reasons. Utilizing car-sharing services for transportation and tourism can lead to a reduction in the number of privately owned vehicles, enhance vehicle utilization, significantly alleviate traffic congestion, conserve energy, and lower emissions. These factors are contributing to the rising demand for shared vehicles. For instance, in November 2022, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that in June 2022, the UK welcomed 3 million visits from overseas travelers, an increase from 2.8 million visits in May 2022. Therefore, the growth in travel and tourism activities is propelling the expansion of the shared vehicles market.

The growth of the shared vehicles market is anticipated to be driven by increasing urbanization in the coming years. Urbanization refers to the trend of a rising proportion of the population living in urban areas, resulting in the expansion of cities and towns. This phenomenon supports the use of shared vehicles as it addresses urban challenges, creating an environment conducive to shared mobility solutions. For example, in April 2024, the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based non-governmental organization, reported that over 4.3 billion people, or 55% of the global population, currently live in urban areas. This number is expected to rise to 80% by 2050, highlighting the ongoing global transition toward urban living. Thus, the increase in urbanization is fueling the growth of the shared vehicles market.

Leading companies in the shared vehicles market are concentrating on the development of advanced technological solutions, such as car-share services, to meet various critical industry needs. A car-share service enables individuals to rent vehicles for short durations, typically by the hour or day, serving as an alternative to car ownership. For example, in January 2024, Vay, a technology company based in Germany, introduced an innovative teledriving car-share service in Las Vegas, allowing users to summon remotely operated electric vehicles. This service enhances convenience by allowing trained drivers to operate the cars from a distance, eliminating the need for users to walk to a vehicle or search for parking. Priced competitively at $0.3 per minute while driving, Vay aims to challenge traditional ride-hailing models. Additionally, Vay is exploring partnerships in logistics and public transportation to maximize the use of its teledriving technology.
