Shared Vehicles Market Growth Trends 2025

The global shared-vehicles market was valued at USD 127.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 14.4 % from 2022 to 2028. Rising consumer preference for flexible, convenient, and cost-saving mobility options is expected to fuel this expansion. Because shared vehicles offer targeted users—especially those who do not own cars—high-quality and personalized travel choices, their popularity continues to climb.

Impact of COVID-19

The pandemic temporarily dampened demand: usage dropped sharply as governments imposed distancing regulations, leading to a noticeable contraction in shared-vehicle activity.

What counts as a shared vehicle?

A shared-vehicle system provides a pool of automobiles available around the clock to multiple users. Individuals or groups rent the vehicle that best suits their needs for the desired period, enjoying flexibility comparable to private ownership.

Benefits driving adoption

By lowering personal transportation costs, cutting greenhouse-gas emissions, and reducing both vehicle upkeep and parking-space requirements, shared-vehicle programs present a practical alternative for budget-conscious users who do not need a full-time car.

Service insights

• Car rental dominates: In 2021, traditional car-rental services generated more than 90 % of total revenue and are expected to increase at a 14.4 % CAGR through 2028. Professional providers supply vehicles for personal use at predetermined time-based rates—a model especially attractive to cost- and fuel-conscious millennials.
