Micro-Mobility Global Market Report 2025

Micro-mobility refers to the use of bicycles, electric scooters, and e-bikes for short-distance commuting within urban areas. Users typically rent these scooters or bikes for a limited time through a mobile application.

The main types of micro-mobility options include bicycles, e-bikes, e-kick scooters, and other similar modes of transportation. An e-kick scooter is a vehicle that can be stood on and propelled at a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour by an electric motor. These scooters operate at various speeds, such as up to 25 kmph and 25-45 kmph, and can be human-powered or electrically powered. They may be part of different sharing models, including docked and dockless systems. Ownership models can include business-to-business and business-to-consumer arrangements.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.

The micro-mobility market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides micro-mobility market statistics, including micro-mobility industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a micro-mobility market share, detailed micro-mobility market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the micro-mobility industry. This micro-mobility market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The micro-mobility market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $62.98 billion in 2024 to $75.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urbanization, consumer behavior shifts, economic factors, COVID-19 impact, and infrastructure development.

The micro-mobility market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $161.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global events and pandemics, health and wellness trends, consumer preferences, data and AI integration, integration with public transit. Major trends in the forecast period include electrification, vehicle diversity, autonomous micro-mobility, focus on user-centric design, circular economy initiative.

The forecast of 21.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on smart locking systems, GPS tracking modules, and shared fleet management platforms sourced internationally, increasing operational costs for shared e-scooter and e-bike services.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The micro-mobility market is expected to grow, fueled by the rising demand for public transportation. Public transportation encompasses collective travel modes such as buses, trains, and metros, enabling more people to commute along established routes. Micro-mobility enhances this system by improving local mobility within densely populated areas, providing convenient transportation options for individuals. Additionally, urbanization plays a significant role in the increasing demand for micro-mobility, as a growing population seeks efficient travel solutions. According to the Department for Transport, there has been a notable increase in passenger journeys across all public transport modes since the year ending March 2022. National Rail, in particular, saw the most significant growth, with a 46% increase in journeys. Therefore, the rising demand for public transportation is anticipated to drive growth in the micro-mobility market.

The growth of the micro-mobility market is projected to be fueled by the increasing trend of urbanization. Urbanization, characterized by rising population concentration in cities and towns, prompts the expansion of urban areas. Micro-mobility solutions play a crucial role in addressing transportation challenges associated with urbanization, including traffic congestion, parking demand, and environmental sustainability. As of January 2022, the United States Department of Commerce reported a population increase in the US to 332,403,650, growing by 0.21% from 2021. This exemplifies the ongoing urbanization trend contributing to the growth of the micro-mobility market.

An emerging trend in the micro-mobility market is the focus on product innovations by major companies. These innovations involve the development of technologically advanced products to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in January 2022, LIME, a US-based micro-mobility company, introduced the Gen4 E-bike-a swappable battery electric bike with features such as increased motor power, a mobile-phone holder, a handlebar with display mirroring, an automatic two-speed transmission, and a modular design.

Innovative products, particularly those incorporating cognitive intelligence (CI) for micro-mobility, are gaining popularity in the market. Companies are striving to create a society where mobility brings happiness and liberation. In November 2022, Honda R&D Co. Ltd., a Japan-based company, launched CI-powered micro-mobility devices that combine Honda CI with Honda AI, emphasizing stress-free, environmentally sustainable, and easily transportable solutions. The development of micro-mobility technologies with CI aims to enable ubiquitous, stress-free, and collision-free movement of people and objects.

In November 2022, Helbiz Inc., a US-based intra-urban transportation company, successfully completed the acquisition of Wheels Labs Inc. This undisclosed sum acquisition enhances Helbiz's operational capacity, expanding its market presence to 67 markets globally. The acquisition contributes to a more diversified business model and improves the company's financial profile. Wheels Labs Inc. is a US-based company specializing in micro-mobility leasing and management.
