Definition:

The Bike-sharing market includes short-term bike-sharing services. In bike-sharing services, bicycles are generally owned by a bike-sharing provider and are independently reserved by customers around the clock. Customers are required to open an account with the bike-sharing provider and can then reserve bicycles. This is usually done with a smartphone app, but there are also service providers that allow reservations to be made via the provider's website, by telephone, or at a terminal.

The two most frequently used bike-sharing varieties are the following: station-based (e.g., Stadtrad and Citi Bike New York) and free-floating (such as nextbike and ofo). With station-based bike-sharing, a bicycle is retrieved from a bike-sharing station and returned to either the same station or dropped off at another station. With free-floating bike-sharing, it is possible to find bicycles everywhere within the service provider's business zone and leave the bicycle anywhere in accordance with traffic regulations. Peer-to-peer bike-sharing is not included in the market definition of this market. Moped-sharing services are not available in all countries; thus, only a limited number of countries and regions can be selected.

Additional Information:

The main performance indicators of the Bike-sharing market are revenues, average revenue per user (ARPU), user numbers and user penetration rates. Additionally, online and offline sales channel shares display the distribution of online and offline bookings. The ARPU refers to the average revenue one user generates per year while the revenue represents the total booking volume. Revenues are generated through both online and offline sales channels and include exclusively B2C revenues and users for the mentioned market. User numbers show only those individuals who have made a reservation, independent of the number of travelers on the booking. Each user is only counted once per year.

The booking volume includes all booked rides made by users from the selected region, regardless of where the ride took place.

The Bike-sharing market in Saudi Arabia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, and local special circumstances. Customer preferences in Saudi Arabia have shifted towards more sustainable and eco-friendly modes of transportation, leading to an increased demand for bike-sharing services. This trend is in line with global market preferences, as people become more conscious of their environmental impact and seek alternative transportation options. Additionally, the convenience and affordability of bike-sharing services have made them a popular choice among commuters and tourists alike. One of the key trends in the Saudi Arabian Bike-sharing market is the adoption of dockless bike-sharing systems. Unlike traditional docked systems, where bikes are picked up and dropped off at designated stations, dockless systems allow users to locate and unlock bikes using a smartphone app, providing greater flexibility and convenience. This trend has been fueled by advancements in technology and the increasing availability of mobile apps, making it easier for users to access bike-sharing services on the go. Another trend in the market is the integration of bike-sharing with other modes of transportation, such as public transit. This integration allows users to seamlessly switch between different modes of transportation, providing a more efficient and convenient travel experience. This trend is particularly relevant in Saudi Arabia, where the government has been investing in the development of public transportation infrastructure, including the expansion of metro and bus networks. The integration of bike-sharing with these systems not only enhances the overall transportation network but also promotes a healthier and more active lifestyle. Local special circumstances in Saudi Arabia, such as the high population density in urban areas and the growing tourism industry, have also contributed to the development of the Bike-sharing market. In densely populated cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, bike-sharing offers a practical solution to the problem of traffic congestion and limited parking space. Additionally, the growing number of tourists visiting Saudi Arabia has created a demand for alternative transportation options, with bike-sharing being a popular choice among tourists looking to explore the cities at their own pace. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as government initiatives and investments, have played a crucial role in the growth of the Bike-sharing market in Saudi Arabia. The government has recognized the importance of sustainable transportation and has implemented policies and regulations to promote the adoption of bike-sharing services. Furthermore, the increasing number of bike-sharing operators entering the market has created competition, leading to improved services and lower prices for consumers. In conclusion, the Bike-sharing market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation options, the adoption of dockless bike-sharing systems, the integration with other modes of transportation, and the high population density in urban areas are all contributing to the development of the market. Additionally, government initiatives and investments are further driving the growth of the Bike-sharing market in Saudi Arabia.
