Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from ride and booking volumes: trips completed per platform in each country, average fare per trip across ride-hailing, taxi-hailing and car sharing, and subscription or bundled-pass counts where operators report them. Those volumes are multiplied by realised price per trip or per subscription period to produce a bottom-up revenue figure for each country and service line. That build is then checked against the gross bookings and take-rate disclosures that public operators such as Uber and Grab report in their own filings; where the two diverge, the trip-volume or average-fare assumption feeding the bottom-up build is revisited and corrected, not averaged against the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target commercial and pricing leads at ride-hailing and car-sharing operators, fleet and procurement managers who set vehicle deployment and driver-incentive budgets, and transit or licensing officials who set the rules a platform must operate under in a given city. Payment-platform and app-store partners are sampled for a view on transaction volume and subscription uptake. Sampling weights toward Asia Pacific and North America, since these regions carry the largest trip volumes and the widest range of regulatory regimes, with European coverage added to capture cities where public transit integration shapes how a platform is allowed to price and operate.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on transport-authority licensing registers that record active ride-hailing and taxi permits by city, published gross bookings and take-rate figures from listed operators' investor filings, and national transport ministry statistics on registered for-hire vehicles and two-wheeler fleets. App-store revenue and download tracking supplies a check on subscription and in-app payment volume by country. Smartphone penetration and mobile-payment adoption data from national telecom regulators inform where booking-app usage can plausibly expand, and customs and vehicle-import codes are used to cross-check fleet size claims in markets with fast-growing car-sharing networks.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from expected trip-volume growth in each country, weighted by urbanization rate and existing congestion and parking cost pressure, and from the pace at which cities are expected to license new ride-hailing and car-sharing operators. Pricing assumptions normalize for the subsidy-driven fares many platforms used to build early market share, moving fares toward fully-loaded per-trip cost as operators mature. The 2020 and 2021 historical base is treated as depressed by pandemic-era mobility restrictions, not as a stable trend line, so early-period growth reflects recovery from that trough more than organic demand alone. For the forecast to hold, licensing pace and fare normalization need to continue on their observed path.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical years are back-tested against the year-over-year gross bookings growth that listed operators have reported over the same period, so the 2020 to 2024 build is checked against a real, disclosed growth path and not only against the bottom-up estimate. The projected shift toward car sharing and bundled multimodal passes was reviewed against operator statements on where they are expanding capacity. Sensitivities were run on the pace of fare normalization and on how quickly new cities are expected to license additional operators, since both assumptions move the forecast more than any single country's trip-volume estimate.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in the ride-hailing and taxi-hailing lines, where several of the largest operators publish gross bookings and take-rate figures directly. Car sharing and bundled subscription models rest more on proxy indicators, since most operators offering these formats are privately held and do not disclose city-level figures. The government and public-sector end-user segment carries the thinnest data, since transit-integration contracts are rarely reported publicly. A change in ride-hailing licensing rules in a large market, or a shift in how a major operator prices bundled passes, are the kinds of events that would force a revision to this estimate.
