A Business Segment to Dominate the Market Due to Growing Preference of Consumer Enterprises – The market is segmented into business and leisure based on rental type.
The enterprise segment is expected to hold the largest global share during the forecasted period. Most private and state-owned companies have been renting luxury cars to their top executives for many years. Companies upgrade rental cars for employees based on their designation and annual advancement. This also allows the company to avoid adding fixed assets and inventory costs for these luxury cars, allowing executives to use them during meetings and customer visits. As a result, the current trends in the luxury car rental market are expected to drive market expansion during the forecasted period.
The leisure segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. Consumers want access to luxury cars rather than buy and own them, and they prefer to pay for the privilege of using them momentarily. This desire is expected to drive the growth of the luxury car rental market. For example, a few years ago, the percentage of new Hyundai, Ford, Kia, and GM cars leased rather than purchased was minuscule, but it has now reached at least 20 percent, according to a study by J.D. Power & Associates. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the leisure segment during the forecasted period.
When analyzing the booking method – Online segment is expected to capture the largest market share due to high consumer demand, especially from Generation Y.
The online segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. The online segment is gaining popularity among young consumers. Consumers can choose from a wide range of luxury cars through the online booking option. In addition, this type of car makes it easy to book 24 hours a day and be available all year round. It allows users to compare prices flexibly and provides information on luxury car availability, terms, and offers without the need for physical consultation. The online app’s booking system also allows business owners to easily manage all bookings. Reservations made online are recorded and addressed directly. Therefore, technological advancements and increasing internet penetration among shoppers will drive the growth of the online segment.
