Growth of Micro-Mobility is Expected to be Higher than Car-Sharing and Ride-Hailing Services

 

Autonomy in micro-mobility is still a far-fetched concept; however, some technology companies, such as Marble, have been successful in deploying projects in the last-mile delivery market. Micro-mobility is a part of the global mobility-as-a-service market. The micro-mobility ecosystem is currently attracting a substantial sum of investments in the mobility service domain. Amount of traveling via micro-mobility more than doubled in 2018 in comparison to 2017. The growth rate in micro-mobility is currently higher than the car-sharing and ride-hailing services. This has pushed the major travel companies, engaging in ride-hailing initiatives, to re-strategize and integrate micro-mobility in their service portfolio.

The benefits of micro-mobility are based upon certain criteria which are further divided by power sources, i.e., gasoline and electric.

BIS Research Report on Micro Mobility Market

Gasoline-powered mode: Cost of device or vehicle is the average selling price of various modes such as a bike/two-wheeler or motorcycle with an IC engine. Ridesharing will include cars majorly with IC engines and the same for private cars. The infrastructure requirement, such as fuel pumps, roads, regulatory bodies, connectivity, and secondary support services (such as payment gateway), are supporting criteria for the smooth operation of a service. The analysis of various factors indicated cost saving when micro-mobility mode is compared with a private car. The benefit is calculated by considering the value difference between the lowest two from the segments. There are several other benefits offered by the gasoline-powered mode.

Electric-powered mode:  Ride-sharing will majorly include cars with an electric powertrain and the same for private vehicles/cars. The CO2 emission is considered per vehicle per mile in grams. The average value is based on the estimation of the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), which is extracted from per vehicle yearly emission data. The weight of the device is a significant factor, as it is directly proportional to the amount of energy that goes into the production and is required to drive the vehicle per mile. There are several other benefits offered by the electric-powered mode.

The mobility requirements and consumer needs are transforming drastically over the past decade. Mobility, as a service segment, is the parent segment of the micro-mobility market that has substantially revolutionized the way people travel and how logistics can transform to enable high-level of asset management.

Personal Care Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2019-2029

The introduction and proliferation of bio-based ingredients in several industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has been transforming the manufacturing landscape since 2000. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of bio-based products due to rising health and environmental concerns is driving the demand for bio-based ingredients in the cosmetics and personal care products. Besides, awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of synthetic ingredients chemicals has grown rapidly over the past years. In addition, the availability of green raw materials has also urged large cosmetic firms to develop bio-based cosmetic products. However, limited availability of raw material, due to erratic weather conditions and stringent environmental regulations, can pose substantial hurdles in the production of bio-based ingredients. Thus, leading companies have been focusing on developing new and sustainable ways of producing the ingredi...

ADAS and Autonomous Driving Component Market

As per the recent BIS Research report, the ADAS and autonomous driving component market is segmented into component type, level of autonomy, vehicle type, and region for the purpose of study. These segments are further sub-segmented into various categories. In case of market by component type, it is sub-segmented into camera, radar, ultrasonic sensors, LiDAR, and ECU. The use of LiDAR is increasing rapidly in the market owing to reducing cost of LiDAR sensors and their greater range.

High-End Synthetic Suede Market Latest Trend, Industry Growth, Competitive Analysis Upto 2031

High-end synthetic suede has been able to mark its presence in the fashion industry as well. Global fashion designers, with an aim to inculcate sustainability, have started to incorporate synthetic materials in their production process, to not only achieve sustainability but also to send a strong message to their customers regarding the proliferated use of vegan materials. The growth in the high-end synthetic suede market is attributable to increasing demand from the automotive industry and the need for a replacement of natural suede. Synthetic suede is made through the blends of polyester and other plastics, posing less environmental hazard just like natural suede does. Synthetic suede is typically more economical and affordable as compared to natural suede. The material is highly durable and requires low maintenance, which has made it a popular choice as a replacement of natural suede. The increase in the number of end-use industries, rise in the demand for a replacement of natural s...
