GCC Ridesharing Market

Market Insight

GCC Ridesharing market was valued at USD 24.27 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 75.23 billion in 2027, with a CAGR of 17.74% during the forecast period. Digital ride-sharing platforms such as Uber, Ola, and Careem in the GCC countries belong to a wider framework of substitutive market innovation that is referred to as the sharing economy. Ride-sharing platforms serve as a medium to connect drivers who generally use their personal vehicles with passengers in need of a vehicle at an agreed price. Today's availability of smartphone apps makes it easy to participate in ride-sharing. These smartphone apps provide on-demand mobility solutions so its partners can offer shared ride service that pools riders heading in the same direction into the same car or van.

Recently, ride-sharing services have become popular in urban transport in GCC countries. In particular, the rise of dynamic ride-sharing startups has challenged the traditional taxicab services that drive market growth. Furthermore, an increase in the cost of vehicle ownership in GCC countries is expected to drive market growth. The ownership of a vehicle is cumulative of multiple factors such as finance, fuel, maintenance, registration/taxes, and maintenance & repair, along with depreciation. Current economies in the GCC region, in particular, are radically changing, caused by the development of sustainability policies, the rise of new technologies, and changing consumer preferences around ownership. In Saudi Arabia, the kingdom has invested in rideshare apps for many reasons. Besides helping women enter the workforce, the government is trying to handle falling oil prices. The government is pushing more local people away from government jobs and towards the private sector. However, unpredictable transport policies of different countries and resistance from traditional transport services hamper the market growth. Ridesharing and carpooling are highly regulated in the UAE and are possible only if certain principles set by governing bodies such as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Dubai and the Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi are met. Ridesharing services have gained popularity in GCC countries in recent years owing to attributes such as reduced travel costs, traffic congestion, and emissions. However, the ridesharing market has lost its fair share of an uprising as a transportation mode with the impact of COVID-19. As the COVID-19 lockdown and curfew policies dramatically restrict mobility in GCC cities, the urban transport landscape is undergoing considerable disruption. For transportation decision-makers, the crisis poses a difficult challenge.

Geographically, Saudi Arabia dominates the GCC ridesharing market. In Saudi Arabia, more and more women receive their driving licenses, therefore increasing their participation in the workforce through access to affordable transportation such as ride-sharing, in addition to increasing women’s access to flexible, part-time economic opportunities. After witnessing a huge potential in the ridesharing business in countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Oman, various players are looking for creating the best ridesharing solution for their startups. The ease of booking and enhanced passenger comfort is also the key reasons for market growth in these countries.
