Abstract: In October 2018, carsharing was operating in 47 countries and six continents, with approximately 32 million member ssharing over 198,000 vehicles. Asia, the largest carsharing region measured by membership, accounted for 71.4% of worldwide membership and 54.4% of global fleets deployed. The world’s second largest carsharing market, Europe, accounted for 21.2% of worldwide members and 30.6% of vehicle fleets. As of October 2018, one-way carsharing accounted for 49.63% of global membership and 42.02% of global fleets deployed (based on data provided through expert interviews). The 2018 global one-way market share represented a 238% increase in membership and a 103% increase in fleets since 2016. In October 2018, roundtrip carsharing accounted for 50.37% and 57.98% of global membership and fleets deployed, respectively. Regionally, Europe had the largest percentage of one-way membership, representing 72.3% of the region’s carsharing membership. Oceania had the greatest percentage of one-way fleets regionally, representing 80.91% of the continent’s carsharing fleets. The number of carsharing countries increased from 46 in 2016 to 47 as of October 2018.Notably, carsharing expanded to Columbia in July 2017.Please note in February 2020, ShareNow discontinued services in North America (Montreal, New York, Seattle, Washington DC, and Vancouver). ShareNow will continue in some European cities.
