The global market for E-scooter sharing raised to 18.8% CAGR over the last five years (2017 to 2021). The market growth is forecasted to reach USD 5.7 Bn in the coming ten years.

In 2021, the global market size for E scooter sharing was valued at USD 925.3 Mn and is expected to increase to a valuation of USD 1.1 Bn in 2022. This is due to the increasing demand for shared micro-mobility. The favorable cost structure, flexibility, and user-friendly characteristics are some of the factors that contribute to the growth of the E-scooter-sharing market. E-scooters are small in size and consume less space for parking, hence, the E-scooter sharing providers and governments are encouraging travellers to use E-scooter sharing. Most of the service providers provide free-floating services in which the customers need to pick up and return the scooters to specific locations.

Millennials currently are the prominent end-users of E-scooter sharing owing to their growing spending power. With the surge in worldwide urbanization, people from other age groups will also start to use E-scooter sharing to make the demand more mainstream.

The global E-scooter-sharing market is predicted to surge ahead at a CAGR of 17.9% and sales worth USD 5.7 Bn by the end of 2032. he USA will continue to be the largest user of E scooter sharing throughout the analysis period accounting for over USD 1.5 Bn absolute dollar opportunity in the coming 10 years.

How Reduction of Traffic Congestion Through E-scooter Sharing Offering Market Growth?

Since E-scooter sharing engages only half of the space of a pedestrian, it becomes more space-effective. Since e-scooter sharing is more feasible during peak hours, if more people use them the number of vehicles plying on the roads will decrease thereby reducing traffic congestion. In the USA, nearly 46% of all vehicle traffic congestion is caused by driving within a 0-3 miles radius and 60% of the car trips are micro-mobility. If people substitute their trips for micro-mobility with E-scooter sharing, it will reduce the traffic congestion in the cities.

In the US, it only cost USD 1 to unlock and thereafter USD 0.15 per minute pricing structure by Bird and Lime.

How Current Working Models of the Companies Helping E-scooter Sharing?

Most companies in the E-scooter sharing market provide an app-based system. During 2018 to 2019 the monthly installation of e-scooter sharing apps from both Bird and Lime combined, increased by 580%.

These apps also include a GPS system through which the riders can understand if there are any allotted ways in the area in which they travel.

How Government Interventions is changing the E-scooter Sharing Usage?

E-scooter sharing has gained significant attention all over the globe. However, governments across the world are formulating policies around it. The UK government is planning to legalize riding privately owned E-scooters. Of this, many riders will buy their own E-scooters, which will reduce the demand for E-scooter sharing.

In Atlanta, USA, the government banned riding E-scooters during nighttime as a string of deaths was reported in the summer. In North Carolina, the government tried to overcome the situation with the help of companies by installing a GPS system in the scooter so that they cannot block the pedestrian walkway. These strict regulations will alert the users to use the E-scooter sharing properly, or else the government will be forced to ban the E-scooters from the street which will hold back the E-scooter sharing market as the ridership rates per city fall drastically.

In Madrid, Spain, the providers must acquire a license to operate in specified areas and they have to provide usage data to the government. Besides, several governments are planning to legalize the usage of helmets while riding and also to license the E-scooter used for E-scooter sharing.

The Chinese government is planning to invest more than USD2 Bn for the development of charging infrastructure for e-scooters. This will promote the growth of the E-scooter sharing market.

What are the Challenges Faced by E-scooter Sharing Providers?

An average E-scooter has a life span of three months. Since they are used for rental purposes, the rough handling and heavy usage have cut down their durability. Even without adding overhead expenses and not counting marketing, it would take about four months for an E-scooter sharing company to break even on its investment.

For an E-scooter sharing provider, most of the cost is incurred through charging and operation. They have to collect E-scooters and transport them to their charging stations for battery charging, and maintenance of the scooter and then to place it again in the locations for the riders to use. Another challenge is the dumping or misplacing of the E-scooters.

In June 2019 Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MSCO) divers picked up about 57 shared E–scooters from Willamette River in Portland, Oregon USA. In several cities, E-sharing scooters are rising concerns over the safety of people walking using it. According to a study conducted in Finland, about 331 people were admitted to emergency rooms from occurring accidents while riding an E-scooter from April 2019 to April 2021. Another challenge faced by E-scooter sharing is that due to the disturbance caused by them to the pedestrians who are using the sidewalks governments all over the world are bringing in restrictions for the usage of them in sidewalks.
