Rising Adoption of Taxis in Tire 1 and Tire 2 Cities

In metro cities, around 35% taxi business emanates from the corporate sector. Taxi companies are becoming tech savvy and are using digital tablets inside taxi for advertising and for exterior/interior branding. The taxis use 4 door panel and back glass strip, as a part of external branding.

This would enable commuters to choose content from different categories including fashion, entertainment, news and lifestyle. Companies also have the option of choosing other ways of cab advertising such as ads on bill rolls, SMS campaign (with the permission of TRAI) and sample distribution in taxis.

Rising Demand from Corporate Segment

Taxi advertisements have become an important means of promoting new brands. However, a couple of years back, companies and corporate houses resorted to cost cutting methods and limited expenditure on advertisements and promotions. This trend has been witnessing a change. The concept of cab advertisements has given a new dimension to the way of marketing fundamentals for foreign and domestic companies in India. Companies sign a contract with taxi operators to promote their brand on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly basis, as per their convenience. A large demand for taxis emanates from the corporate sector. Corporate sector prefers services of taxi operators, as they want punctual and reliable service. Enhanced security and comfortable commute also lure working professionals to use of radio taxi services instead of public transport and traditional taxis.

Urbanization and Support from Automobile Sector

For example, Hyundai Motor India started selling its compact sedan Xcent specifically for taxis. Renault also plans to launch the new 7-seater version Lodgy specifically to meet the rising demand for cab aggregators. Similarly, Maruti Suzuki came with Swift Dzire 'Tours' version for taxi companies.
