Availability of cars and comparison of fare with correspondents is facilitated by numerous mobile applications. For instance, in August 2017, Migo, a Seattle-based search engine for on-demand ride services launched a mobile application that allows users to compare locations and prices of nearby taxis, car-sharing, and ride-hailing companies all in one app. Moreover, such services allow customers to make use of numerous functions. In addition, facility to find exact location of customers and matching demand with available supply are the factors that significantly drive the smart mobility market.
Government Initiatives for Smart Cities
Several government initiatives have been made for implementing concept of smart mobility across the globe. This has led to growth of the global smart mobility market. For instance, in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT) started a smart mobility subsidy program in 2019, with a revenue of $27.6 million for the program. Similar investments and subsidy programs have been implemented by different governments across the globe, which has leads to growth of the global market.
By Solution
Parking management is projected as the most lucrative segments
Low Rate of Internet Penetration in Developing Regions
Ride hailing services require three parties for their operation i.e. driver, riders, and service providers. All processes such as matching rider with drivers, fare estimation & calculation, ride payment, and reputation management are done by using smartphone with mandatory internet connectivity. Some countries such as Eritrea, Burundi, Chad, and Somalia have low penetration of internet that hinders growth of the smart mobility market in these regions. Therefore, low penetration of internet connectivity in developing regions hampers the growth of market across those areas.
Intelligent Transportation System
Safety services offered in advanced cars are an appropriate example of cutting edge aftermarket technology, which involves sharing data between a vehicle and humans. Safety is a combination of telecommunication and automobile technology used to improve vehicle efficiency, reduce fuel consumption & maintenance cost, enhance security & safety measures, and assist drivers to enhance overall driving experience.
