Shared Mobility – Thematic Research

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Consumer and regulatory drivers are pushing transport systems to cut their emissions to slow the damage brought by climate change. One such avenue being pursued is shared mobility services, offered as an alternative to wasteful private vehicles and less-desirable public transport options. Shared mobility covers several different mobility solutions, each optimized for a particular type of mobility requirement. There are four leading approaches to shared mobility – ride hailing, car sharing, carpooling and micro mobility. The latter focuses on last-mile solutions for short journeys including E-bikes and E-scooters, while the others all offer novel alternatives to private vehicle ownership. Shared mobility is particularly vulnerable to the disruption wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. For consumers, sharing an enclosed vehicle – whether it is a ride-hailed taxi or a shared car club vehicle – now presents an increased chance of infection. This has blunted growth in the sector and could prevent it from reaching the economies of scale needed to become financially sustainable.

What are the market trends in shared mobility market?

Proliferation of electrified pedestrian vehicles, sharing economy, autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, internet of things are few of the technological trends in shared mobility. The sharing economy is already beginning to impact automotive. Major players are partnering with MaaS providers or are wanting to be MaaS players themselves. IoT in automotive is being played out via the autonomous vehicle and connected car megatrends. In both cases the lower latency on offer through 5G will unleash a range of benefits and see ‘always-on’ internet connectivity that is essential for Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy.

Covid-19 has significant implications for shared mobility. Ride-hailed taxis, car clubs or carpools are shared spaces and, thus, present an increased risk of infection. This could permanently deter some users and introduce additional complexity for those that remain through additional hygiene measures. This ramps up the pressure on ride-hail and car-sharing companies already racing to expand userbases and profitability. The drive to reduce emissions from transport dovetails neatly with the potential benefits of shared mobility. All shared mobility methods aim to replace journeys that would otherwise be handled by private vehicles-a process that’s inherently wasteful because many car journeys are taken with a single passenger, and the private vehicle in question needs a space to be parked while the user goes about their business.

What are the segments in value chain in the shared mobility market?

The four main modes of shared mobility are ride hailing, car sharing, carpooling and micro mobility.

Scope

  • Shared mobility, through car sharing or ride hailing, is an attempt to readdress this requirement by reducing the number of vehicles needed to transport a given number of people. Rather than take one person from their home to their workplace and back again, a shared car can be used by someone else as soon as the first user has finished their usage. Similarly, a ride-hailed vehicle can provide many trips across a single shift, significantly increasing its economic utility and reducing the number of vehicles needed to transport those people.
  • In mobility, ‘car sharing’ is often used as a catch-all term for many mobility-as-a-service or ‘shared mobility’ programs. For the purpose of this report, however, ‘car sharing’ refers specifically to services that operate fleets of cars that are shared between users such as Share Now or Zipcar.
  • Ride hailing companies also run fleets of vehicles, but they function more like taxis with an employed human driver picking up and dropping off riders. The most prominent companies involved in ride hailing are Uber, Lyft and Didi Chuxing.
  • Carpooling is a similar but subtly different service to car sharing. Again, facilitated by a smartphone app, users can find other people driving to the same location at similar times to themselves and agree to carpool with them. Services such as BlaBlaCar have been running for more than a decade but make up a much smaller proportion of the market compared to ride hailing.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
