Market Overview
The global Carpooling Software market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.7% from 2022 to 2030. Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It reduces pollution since fewer cars are on the road and creates an economic advantage for individuals especially if they share expenses and meet new people on their travels. Traveling with others can make a boring journey much funnier and enables people to socialize with other passengers which are stress-relieving. Many websites and applications have been developed to aid people to meet to share rides. Those applications enable users to create and share their trips, find passengers, know how many miles each rider has cycled, as well as rates for different destinations like airports or hotels.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
One of the biggest impacts of the recent pandemic has been on carpooling software sales. While carpooling software sales were steady leading up to the pandemic, sales dropped by over 50% in the last 6 months. Industry professionals attribute this to the fact that carpooling software prices are being slashed and sales are only being driven by fear of the deadly virus. Sales are expected to pick up when the pandemic has passed, although some people worry that carpooling software will have lost its appeal completely.
Carpooling Software Market Dynamics
With the rapid increase in inflation all around the world, people are looking for cheaper options, especially for the commute. Though public transport provides the cheapest option for commute, it does have inconveniences regarding the time consumption and lack of reach to exact locations, hence people have started adopting carpooling, it offers cheaper and more convenient transport options due to which the demand for the carpooling software is increasing. Additionally growing government incentives for the reduction of the number of cars on the road are also fueling the market.
Drivers
Ø Increasing Government Initiatives for the reduction of Carbon Emission
Government initiatives designed to minimize the number of greenhouse gases released into our atmosphere are likely to encourage car-pooling in metropolitan cities. Major metropolitan cities have traffic congestion which is a result of an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, which means more carbon emissions. For example, New York, Beijing, and Tokyo are among the top ten countries with the highest amount of carbon emissions in our atmosphere today. In an attempt to reduce these numbers, governments, companies and organizations alike are encouraging car-pooling in metro areas as a way for people to commute without adding to all of this toxic pollution by simply limiting the number of vehicles on roads. For example, last year China introduced a new law called “Pending Vehicles” that was intended to cut back on emission rates in China’s most populated city: Shanghai.
Restraint:
- Lack of awareness and understanding
A primary barrier to carpooling is the lack of awareness and understanding. Carpooling is known to be a good way to reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion. This process usually requires coordination and communication between car riders and drivers, which can be difficult to coordinate with people who are not acquaintances. Drivers and passengers often don’t know each other or have mutual respect for each other.
Carpooling Software Opportunity:
- Growing Investment by large players in the Automobile Industry
Automakers are increasingly investing in carpooling services to cater to the growing demand for car-sharing options. For instance, BMW and Daimler have created a partnership allowing them to expand their reach geographically. Similarly, Tesla announced its plan to launch an application allowing customers to request a ride from one of Tesla’s self-driving vehicles in February 2020. The increasing investments from automakers into the sale of cars aligned with a fleet of autonomous vehicles will positively impact the overall carpooling industry in the coming years.
