Global Micro-Mobility Market – Analysis and Forecast (2025-2030)

Industry Insights by Requirement (First and Last Mile, and Short Distance), Location (Tracks, Road, and Footpath), Application (Private and Commercial) Mode of Transport (Electric Scooters, Electric Skateboards, Shared Bicycles, Bicycles and Others) and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Rest of the World)

Industry Overview

The Global Micro-Mobility Market was valued at USD 4.1 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period. The global micro-mobility market is an emerging mode of transport for making short-distance trips and has drastically grown in cities in the last few years. These days, electric scooters, shared bikes, and other vehicle types are frequently used to travel over comparatively short distances.

Micro-Mobility Market

Overall, micro-mobility service is any small-distance transportation mode driven by either individuals or vehicles with speeds in the range below 50 km/hour.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Requirement

Based on requirement, the market is bifurcated into first and last mile and short distance. Among these requirement-type segments, the first and last-mile segment together captures the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period, owing to more induvial opting for micro-mobility modes of transport to avoid traffic and pollution.

Insight by Location

Based on location, the market is subdivided into tracks, roads, and footpaths. Among these, the road is attributed for the foremost share in the micro-mobility market with major vehicle services running on the road. Further, some of the developing nations do not develop infrastructure such as defined tracks or paths for bicycles or skateboards. Therefore, road-based micro-mobility is expected to dominate the market in years to come. 

Insight by Application 

Based on application, the market is subdivided into private and commercial. Of both these applications, commercial application has a major market share in 2020 and is growing rapidly in developed nations such as US, UK, China, and so on. This, as a result, will contribute to the micro-mobility market during the forecast period.

Industry Dynamics

Industry Trends

In the past few years, there has been a remarkable rise in the number of shared and dock-less electric scooters, mainly initiated by companies such as Lime and Bird. The trend is expected to lead the market in the future with these e-scooter companies scaling into large-sized global establishments.

Growth Drivers

Growing urbanization and traffic has compelled people across the globe to take short trips through the micro-mobility mode of transport and therefore, there has been a noteworthy rise in electric bike and scooter usage. In the US, around 60% of all the trips taken regularly are for 5 miles or less. All these factors will impact the micro-mobility market progression in the market in years to come. 

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, the 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 the US. Therefore, the revenue generated from the region is comparatively less and is still in the growing phase. Further, around 50 million people in the US travel using bicycles regularly 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 shortly. China municipality launched the docked bike-sharing model in major cities back in 2008 to ease mobility issues. Furthermore, the most successful public micro-mobility program in China was launched by the Hangzhou Public Transport Corporation in mid-2008 called Hangzhou Public Bicycle.
