The number of vehicles used for public carsharing services will see a CAGR of 8.5 per cent from 511,000 at the end of 2025 to 768,000 at the end of 2030, according to IoT analyst Berg Insight.

The number of users of carsharing services worldwide will grow from 91m people in 2025 at a CAGR of 9.2 per cent to reach 141m people in 2030.

“Asia-Pacific represent most of the carsharing vehicles, followed by Europe”, said Erica Rickard, market analyst at Berg Insight.

The corporate carsharing market was estimated to be 154,000 vehicles at the end of 2025 and is forecasted to reach about 250,000 vehicles by 2030.

Carsharing operators offer members access to a fleet of shared cars round the clock from unattended self-service locations. Usage is billed by the minute, hour, day and distance driven, with rates that include fuel, insurance and maintenance.

Today, most carsharing operators worldwide use station-based networks with round-trip rental. This operational model requires members to return a vehicle to the same designated station from which it was accessed. Another model that has gained popularity is free-floating carsharing, which enables members to pick up and drop off cars anywhere within a designated area or zone. In some regions, free-floating services have overtaken station-based services in terms of the total fleet size and number of users.

“Free-floating carsharing is the most common operational model in Europe in terms of both membership and fleet size,” said Rickard.

A connected fleet and specialised software platforms are today necessary to run a carsharing business. Software platforms support all the operational activities ranging from management of in-vehicle equipment, fleet management, booking management and billing, as well as operations supervision via dashboards and data analytics. While some carsharing operators use in-house developed hardware and software for their operations, many source these products and services from specialised technology vendors. Some of the vendors have an end-to-end offering including both in-house developed telematics equipment and carsharing software platforms while others specialise in one of the areas.

Many carsharing technology vendors partner with each other to expand their offerings and strengthen their value proposition. Leading vendors of hardware and software include Invers, Vulog, Convadis, Targa Telematics, Optimum (by Shiftmove), Mobility Tech Green, WeGo Carsharing, Atom Mobility, CT Mobility, Cantamen, MOQO, 2hire, Bosch and Astus.

In the past years, many carsharing service operators have shifted their focus towards profitability and increasing vehicle use rather than gaining market shares. Carsharing services are offered by specialist carsharing companies, car rental and leasing companies, car makers and other actors such as public transport operators. Examples of specialised carsharing operators include Times Car in Japan; Socar in South Korea; Communauto and Evo Car Share in Canada; Miles, Stadtmobil and Cambio in Germany; MyWheels and Greenwheels in the Netherlands; Enjoy in Italy; Mobility Cooperative in Switzerland; Citiz in France; Traficar in Poland; TikTak in Turkey; Turbi in Brazil; and GoGet in Australia.

Carsharing services by car rental companies include Sixt Share, Zipcar (Avis), Orix CarShare and G Car (Lotte Rental). Examples of leading carsharing services backed by car makers include Free2move owned by Stellantis, Kinto Share owned by Toyota and Wible owned by Kia.

“The top 30 carsharing service providers account for around 63 per cent of the carsharing members and manage about 56 per cent of the carsharing fleet worldwide,” said Rickard.
