Furthermore, the global industry is expanding because of the convenience it has to offer to the customer while also acting as an excellent source of income for the care provider. The global industry is relatively small compared to other ways of car ownership but is rapidly gaining popularity due to several factors.

The global car subscription market is projected to grow owing to the growing change in consumer preference since as per recent trends, more consumers are showing dissatisfaction with the traditional ways of car ownership. Factors like rising car prices, changing fuel rate, and overall high maintenance cost is leading more consumers to opt for options that allow higher convenience and flexibility.

Moreover, the increasing use of technology allows for smooth business operations since consumers can purchase and maintain payments logs digitally appealing to the younger generation that relies heavily on technology for everyday functions. The increasing adoption of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solutions could help the global industry players generate higher momentum during the forecast period. Car subscription is an integral part of the MaaS ecosystem since it provides consumers with solutions depending on their specific needs. In addition, this service method can be proven to be more cost-effective when used correctly. Since the customer is liable to only pay the fees, they do not need to worry about any additional cost that generally is associated when customers are sole owners of the car.

However, issues like profitability and pricing could act as a growth restraint. Running a car subscription service can call for a high investment in terms of vehicle maintenance, logistics, technological infrastructure, and other aspects. In case the pricing decisions are inaccurate, service providers can incur heavy losses or become unable to generate sustainable profit.

Furthermore, the global industry has intense regulatory barriers which arise due to insurance and licensing requirements that generally tend to change depending on the jurisdiction. Vehicle availability is another factor that could hamper the global sales volume. This is relevant in cases where there is a high demand for newer car models loaded with the latest facilities.

Urbanization may open doors for higher growth opportunities while high dealer dependency could challenge the market expansion
