The e-hailing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $170.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for sustainable mobility, greater integration of AI and automation, increased adoption of shared mobility, the expansion of smart city initiatives, and the development of 5G connectivity.

The increasing traffic congestion is expected to drive the growth of the e-hailing market in the coming years. Traffic congestion occurs when roads become overcrowded due to high vehicle demand, leading to slower speeds, delays, and extended travel times. The rise in congestion is primarily due to urbanization, an increase in the number of vehicles, and insufficient infrastructure. E-hailing services help alleviate traffic congestion by promoting ride-sharing, optimizing travel routes, and reducing the need for personal car ownership. For example, in January 2023, INRIX, Inc., a U.S.-based provider of real-time traffic data, reported that drivers in major U.S. cities-many of which are among the world's most congested-spent an average of 51 hours in traffic in 2022, a 15-hour increase compared to the previous year. Consequently, the growing traffic congestion is contributing to the expansion of the e-hailing market.

BozaRide differentiates itself as a locally developed platform tailored to the specific needs of South African users.
