Challenges
Safety and security concerns and the lack of a strong policy framework are retraining the growth of micro-mobility in several regions. Further, required infrastructure development for smooth operation within a region is another major challenge to the industry.
Geographic Overview
Geographically, US, European Union, and China are major regions contributing to the micro-mobility market in terms of revenue as well as company penetration. Besides, micro-mobility pricing in China is around five times less than in US. And therefore, the revenue generated from the region is comparatively less and is still in the growing phase. Further, around 50 million people in US travel using bicycles on a regular basis and a similar trend is rising in the other two regions as well. These trends are expected to drive the micro-mobility market in the region.
Further, APAC will be the fastest-growing region for the micro-mobility market in the near future.
