Abstract

As of October 2016, carsharing was operating in 46 countries and six continents, with an estimated 2,095 cities and approximately 15 million members sharing over 157,000 vehicles. Asia, the largest carsharing region measured by membership, accounts for 58% of worldwide membership and 43% of global fleets deployed. The world’s second largest carsharing market, Europe, accounts for 29% of worldwide members and 37% of vehicle fleets. As of October 2016, one-way carsharing accounted for 30.98% of global membership and 26.0% of global fleets deployed (based on data provided through expert interviews). The 2016 global one-way market share represents a 76% increase in membership and a 23%increase in fleets since 2014. As of October 2016, roundtrip carsharing accounted for 69% and 73.9% of global membership and fleets deployed, respectively. Regionally, Europe had the largest percentage of one-way membership, representing 66.1% of the region’s carsharing membership. Oceania had the greatest percentage of one-way fleets regionally, representing 79.4% of the continent’s carsharing fleets. The number of carsharing countries increased from 35 in 2014 to 46 as of October 2016. Notably, carsharing expanded to Africa (Morocco in 2015 (pilot) and South Africa in June 2015). Roundtrip and one-way carsharing also ceased operations in Greece around late-2015, where carpooling is a popular option.
