The global shared mobility market size is projected to reach USD 619.51 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising at a CAGR of 25.1% during the forecast period. Growing use of smartphones and connected vehicles, along with an elevated problem of traffic congestion in prominent cities worldwide, is anticipated to drive the market.
