The global ride hailing services market size is expected to reach USD 82.37 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to register a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period. Rising need to combat the rushing traffic coupled with piling road taxes is expected to expand the scope of ride-hailing services. These rides are easily traceable and the contacts of both the passenger and driver are easily accessible. Low cost of car ownership and growing employment opportunities is expected to open new avenues over the next few years. As per official statistics provided by Uber at the end of 2019, their driver number stood at 5 million, signifying the increasing number of people turning to ride hailing services as a means of employment.
The high rate of smartphone penetration has led to positive developments in the application ecosystem, which ride hailing services have been keen to exploit. Competitive rates and ride safety have been some of the features that make consumers choose ride hailing services over normal rides. As per data by Pew Research, 99% of citizens in the United States are familiar with the ride-hailing concept, while 36% have availed the service, with Uber and Lyft being at the forefront of customer choice. Automotive manufacturers have been keen to expand their market through the introduction of such services in promising economies such as China and India. For example, in December 2020, Alibaba and Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL; Tesla’s battery supplier) invested 300 million yuan ($46 million) into SAIC Motor’s ride hailing service that operates in China. The self-driving vehicle environment is also presenting numerous growth avenues to the industry. Additionally, ride-hailing services are expanding to the food delivery setup also, the prime example being Uber Eats.; Lyft is also entering this space by partnering with Grubhub for free food delivery for Lyft Pink monthly subscribers through the app.
The current outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic had a massive impact on the overall ride-hailing service industry, as the government-imposed lockdowns across the globe for a major part of 2020 led to heavy loss in revenue for the market players. As a result, companies have tried to modify their offerings in order to follow government regulations, while ensuring flow of revenue. The major offerings by the industry players include e-hailing, car sharing, and rental services, with countries such as the United States, India, China, and Western European countries being the key regions for revenue growth. Some of the notable market competitors are Uber, Lyft, Via, Juno, Xoox, Wheely, ViaVan, My Taxi, Gett, Addison Lee, Ola, Kabbee, BlaBlaCar, Lyft, Grab, Didi Chuxing, and Yandex.taxi

2 A study by the University of Pennsylvania noted that the availability of ride-hailing services for most parts of the day have helped in reducing the number of drunk-driving incidents, thus making them a safe option

6 North America held a market share exceeding 35% in 2018 and is anticipated to register significant growth through 2025, while Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 13.9% in the industry during the forecast period

8 Over the past 2-3 years, the industry has seen multiple developments, especially in economies such as China and India. For example, in January 2019, TukTuk Ride launched a new ride hailing service app for 10 major cities in India, with consumers needing to pay INR 14/kilometer for cabs & INR 8/kilometer for bike taxis
9 In January 2019, Grab Holdings Inc. announced plans for commencing three new ride hailing services under the names, GrabShuttle, GrabCall, and GrabCall in Myanmar. GrabShuttle will be targeted at office workers and university students and GrabCall will allow booking cabs through call center agents
