This carpooling market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The car pooling market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.64 billion in 2023 to $11.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth observed during the historic period in the carpooling market can be attributed to factors such as the impact of oil crises, the increase in environmental awareness, urbanization trends, early initiatives in ride-sharing, the escalation of traffic congestion, and the implementation of corporate carpooling programs.

The car pooling market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.62 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period in the carpooling market can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of ride-sharing services, the integration of autonomous vehicles, the increasing demand for sustainable mobility solutions, corporate and workplace initiatives promoting carpooling, and supportive regulatory policies. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of micro-mobility services, the emergence of advanced ride-sharing platforms, a growing demand for sustainable transport options, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and routing algorithms, and the development of corporate carpooling solutions.

Government initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions are poised to drive the carpooling market. Major metropolitan areas face traffic congestion and heightened vehicle density, contributing to increased carbon emissions. Cities such as New York, Seoul, and Shanghai, which rank among the top 10 for the highest carbon footprint, are implementing measures to encourage carpooling. Government efforts, such as the odd-even scheme in Delhi, India, and initiatives by corporations such as Amazon and Infosys promoting carpooling for commuting, align with global targets for carbon footprint reduction set in agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement. These initiatives play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the carpooling market.

The growth of the carpooling market is further fueled by escalating traffic congestion. Factors such as high vehicle volume, limited road capacity, inadequate traffic management, and ongoing road constructions contribute to traffic congestion in various countries. As congestion worsens, commuters increasingly turn to carpooling as an alternative transportation solution to mitigate the challenges and delays associated with solo driving in congested areas. Notably, the surge in traffic congestion in 2022, as reported by NPR, led many Americans to opt for driving over public transit. The average American driver spent around 51 hours stuck in traffic in 2022, representing a significant increase compared to the previous year. This surge in traffic congestion is expected to sustain the growth of the carpooling market.

The carpooling industry's expansion faces limitations due to the intricate policies of different countries. Stringent regulations impose constraints on businesses and hinder the smooth functioning of carpooling services. For instance, the Government of India issued guidelines in November 2020 restricting carpooling services to a maximum of four intra-city journeys and two inter-city excursions per week for each car integrated with an aggregator. Such government guidelines are anticipated to act as a major restraint on the carpooling market's growth during the forecast period.

Automobile manufacturers are increasingly entering the mobility services sector to meet the rising demand for carpooling services. Prominent manufacturers such as BMW and Daimler have collaborated to expand their car-sharing ventures geographically. In February 2020, Tesla announced plans to launch a ride-sharing application, indicating automakers' growing involvement in carpooling applications to contribute to market growth.

In July 2023, FabMob, a French non-governmental organization (NGO) focusing on collaboration in the mobility sector, entered a partnership with Flowbird for an undisclosed amount. This collaboration aims to advance the Mon Compte Mobilite (moB) program, facilitating access to mobility services and managing mobility data for users. It enables seamless integration with third-party services such as public transport, bike sharing, and carpooling through standard APIs. Flowbird, a French technology company, provides solutions connecting parking, transport, mobility, and tourism services.
