The global car rental service market is projected to accrue a value of US$ 307.5 billion by 2033, with the demand growing at a healthy CAGR of 7.2% from 2023 to 2033. The market will likely reach an estimated US$ 153.4 billion in 2023. Substantial growth in the number of people taking business and leisure travel trips is spurring the demand for the car rental market in the forecast period.
The widespread access to and use of the internet across developing as well as developed nations have helped enterprises in the market to expand their customer base with the aid of mobile applications. In addition, the subscription model introduced by many market players is expected to contribute to market growth.
Rapid advancements in technology are anticipated to be an essential factor aiding the expansion of the market size. Technologically-empowered web-based solutions like online sales and booking channels enable consumers to rent a car at their convenience and ease. Technological advancements in this sector have improved customer and corporate information management and enabled hassle-free internet bookings.
These considerations will supplement the growth of the car rental market. Again, the heightened dependency of consumers on smartphones for carrying out myriad tasks- tasks that were conventionally done by computers- has altered the car rental experience for consumers. This is because swift technological progress has helped enterprises in this sector to introduce various applications that will ensure a smooth booking process for consumers which, in turn, drives global market growth.
The market is also significantly influenced by the introduction of concepts like opaque renting which is a booking platform that allows online customers to offer the value that they will pay for a specific travel-related product or service without knowing the brand beforehand. The brand is only revealed after the consumer makes an online purchase. This concept, thus, enables car rental businesses to grow and use their fleet to their full capacity. This trend is expected to have an immense impact on the car rental services market. Hence, technological advancements in mobile capacities along with advancing web-based media enable the growth of opaque renting which, in turn, drives the overall car rental market growth.
