The sharing economy, also known as the collaborative economy is getting popular in all industries. People started sharing assets over a thousand years, but the arrival of the internet and big data made sharing easier by digitizing.
But Sharing economy comes with its own risks and challenges such as:
- Competing with Traditional Service Providers
- Earning Customers’ Trust
- A Viable Platform to connect Service providers and Users
Despite the hurdles and challenges, the sharing economy has snowballed over the past few years and is expected to touch $335 billion by 2025. Sharing economy permits individuals to make money from unused assets. Thus tangible assets can be shared as services. Now sharing economy is used as a broader term for all online-economic transactions that includes Peer-to-Peer transactions as well.
Impact of Sharing Economy on the Taxi Industry
In a study conducted by Brookings Institute, it was discovered that private vehicle remains 95% unused during their existence. The major players in the ride-hailing industry made use of these unused vehicles and regulated the informal on-demand taxi industry. Ride-hailing apps successfully implemented the sharing economy model and invented a platform that connects drivers and passengers without any hassle.
After the arrival of ride-hailing apps, the on-demand taxi industry underwent a drastic transformation. Even when you go to a new city, you don’t have to speak with bus drivers or negotiate with taxi drivers. It’s because the app in your pocket will find you a driver, who will meet you at your location and will take you to your destination.
Entering the Industry with an App
According to a report from Goldman Sachs, the ride-hailing industry is ballooning and is expected to reach a whopping $285 billion by 2030. Entering the taxi industry with a sharing economy app like Uber is an ideal prospect for entrepreneurs to earn money in a short span.
