  Increased venture capital and strategic investment combined are driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for bike sharing is being driven by the growing customer preference for using electric bike sharing. The critical reason influencing the expansion of ride-hailing and ride-sharing services is the massive increase in regular office commuters' preference for carpool and bike sharing pool services. The availability of more services from the top competitors on the market, such as Uber and Ola, as well as the choice of convenient pick-up and drop-off locations, is pushing customers to use ride-hailing and ride-sharing services. Additionally, the bike sharing industry's expansion is fueled by the massive increase in ride-hailing and ride-sharing services, such as bike sharing and auto sharing services, even for short-distance travel.

In addition, ride-sharing service providers provide advantages compared to traditional transportation service providers, including more convenient doorstep pick-up and drop-off prices, co-passenger information, and affordable doorstep pick-up and drop-off. It is forecasted that this will improve demand for ride-sharing services. To lower the costs of everyday commuters, many service providers also give a variety of amenities, incentives, and discounts, such as a monthly pass on shared transportation. Due to their quick & flexible operations and low carbon emissions, the demand for e-bikes is rising worldwide.

Government support programs and financial incentives have been provided to promote electric vehicles, which is expected to open new opportunities for this market in the forecast period. In addition, fossil fuel depletion is a crucial problem that might be solved by creating a self-sufficient electric vehicle sector. New incentive systems for electric bikes are being developed in many countries where electric two-wheelers are popular. For instance, in February 2021, the Government of India announced plans to support electric vehicles through the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles Scheme (FAME). The government is subsidizing buyers through the Electric Vehicle Accelerated Introductory Manufacturing (FAME) program, which invests Rs 100 billion in the market. The increasing trend in electric bike sharing in India is an example of government and corporate efforts. These positive bike sharing market trends are expected to act as facilitators driving the bike sharing market revenue.

Service providers invest heavily in technological advancements like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver dependable performance to commuters. Developing a dockless bike sharing system has also been made possible by incorporating GPS technology, consumer-ready mobile payments, and lower bike sharing locking and monitoring system investment costs. Cutting-edge technologies like lot and GPS trackers on bike sharing help service providers find them anywhere, reducing the likelihood of theft problems.
