Berg Insight expects the global public carsharing fleet to grow from 511,000 vehicles at the end of 2025 to 768,000 by 2030, with users rising to 141.1 million over the same period. The forecast underlines how telematics, booking systems and fleet operations software have become core infrastructure for shared mobility services. Shared mobility has often been discussed as a consumer transport trend, but its operational reality is closer to a distributed IoT business: thousands of unattended vehicles, multiple access models, remote authentication, billing, vehicle status monitoring and continuous fleet optimisation. Without connected in-vehicle equipment and software platforms, the modern carsharing model would be difficult to operate at scale. That is the more relevant signal in Berg Insight’s latest forecast. The analyst firm projects that the number of vehicles used in public carsharing services will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 8.5 percent, from 511,000 at the end of 2025 to 768,000 at the end of 2030. The user base is expected to grow slightly faster, from 91.0 million people in 2025 to 141.1 million in 2030, representing a CAGR of 9.2 percent. The forecast also highlights the geographical balance of the market. Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest share of carsharing vehicles, followed by Europe. Europe stands out for another reason: free-floating carsharing is the most common operational model there in terms of both membership and fleet size, according to Berg Insight. Why this forecast is different from a standard mobility growth story The distinct point in this announcement is not simply that carsharing is expanding. The more important finding is that growth is tied to increasingly specialised connected fleet infrastructure. Berg Insight does not describe carsharing as a market driven only by vehicle supply or consumer demand; it frames it as an ecosystem dependent on in-vehicle telematics, booking
