Shared Mobility to Emerge as a Preferred Choice Among the Growing Urban Population in the Netherlands

The Netherlands Shared Mobility Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 2.32% in the forecast period of 2023-28, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The primary reason for the growth of the market in the country is urbanization; more people are now moving to urban cities such as Amsterdam, Hague, and others in search of better opportunities, living standards, and educational opportunities. As more working professionals & students move to the country, they would require these services to get to their places of employment and educational institutions.

As a result, the demand for these services such as car sharing, bike rental, and others is increasing. In addition, the country's cold & dry climate, combined with uncertainty about rainfall and snowfall, makes it mandatory for daily commuters to hire a four-wheeler because it was less expensive and easier to manage than owning a car. Thereby, favorably impacting the demand for these services in the Netherlands in the coming years. However, the rising fuel cost & inflation due to Russia Ukraine conflict is restricting individuals from opting for shared vehicle services. Nevertheless, the country is looking to get the energy supplied from other sources, which would ease the rising prices of fuels in the country, and the indusial would again transition to shared mobility services. Thus, increasing its demand in the coming years.

Further, even the government in the country is also promoting the use of e-vehicles by creating an ecosystem that supports e-vehicles, such as the installation of charging stations, the establishment of carpooling stations, etc. Along with it, the population of the Netherlands, in general, is much more aware of climate change & the menace of carbon emissions, as a result of which, the commuters are also switching over to vehicle pooling services. Hence, creating a conducive environment for the growth of the market.

Along with it, it also saves a lot of maintenance & parking costs as well for the riders.

Furthermore, the Netherlands' climatic condition varies, which means the country experiences rain, cold dry winds, and snowfall. In such cases, a car is an excellent option for commuters when traveling from one location to another. These factors have resulted in an increase in demand for car sharing among all types of services offered. As a result, a favorable environment for the growth of the market has been created.
