Report Description

UAE Online Taxi Market is anticipated to project a robust CAGR in terms of value during the forecast period by 2028. The UAE online taxi market is driven by different market players in the country which are continuously providing taxi services on an easy go basis through their website. In UAE people prefer to take online taxi as an alternate option for traveling for short distance, as it is more cost effective for the people of United Arab Emirates. In UAE cities, the online taxi in general and vehicle sharing in particular are expanding quickly. The government of UAE is aggressively promoting it by creating the idea of a "smart city" and expanding the essential infrastructure, like parking places for car-sharing in a big cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al-Khaimah, etc.

 

The cost of owning a vehicle is affected by finance, fuel, maintenance, upkeep, registration and taxes, maintenance, and repairs, as well as depreciation. Owning a car cost more and more money every year. Fuel costs and maintenance costs have increased significantly over the past few years, and there is no indication that this trend will reverse. As cities get more and more crowded with people and cars, owning a car has turned into more of a liability than an asset. The proportion of individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 who own a car has declined over time since the younger generation has little to no interest in doing so. Due to their accessibility and reasonable rates for the distance travelled, individuals frequently choose to use online taxi services.

 

The sales of passenger cars in the year 2021 were around 1,56,780 units. In the year 2020 the Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) revealed that total number of electric/hybrid taxis account for around 4683 vehicles. Out of 4683 taxis the number of hybrid taxis were 4510, which is about 50% of the Dubai taxi fleet. The government of UAE has planned to reduce carbon emissions of the taxi and limousine sector by 2% in compliance with the requirements of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy in the year 2021.  

 

Cost Effectiveness of Online Taxi

Taking online taxi has many benefits over taking any other mean of transport or owing a vehicle because online taxi can reduce the enormous upfront expense of purchasing one. UAE is a hub for many multinational companies and many of these companies have their offices in the cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah etc. Working employees in these corporate offices live in these expensive cities where the living cost is already high, and they prefer to take online taxi for traveling as it is more cost effective. Thus, many online taxis market players offers different types of discounts and coupon offers to their customers to sustain their market position among different competitors.


Customer Loyalty Program

Companies like Uber Technologies, Inc offers its customer discount coupons, free rides, cash coupons and other perks has also been developed, in order to increase their market presence. Taxi companies in UAE are doing business as Dubai Taxi Corporation for its frequent riders. This move has been employed for retention of existing customer base as well as new customer acquisition. To achieve this, partnerships with retailers, discount coupon companies, food service aggregator services are being undertaken by the online taxi services providing companies. Referral reward programs are also being floated out by the online taxi service providing companies to the existing customers to enable word-of-mouth-based advertising and order booking by the companies.

Threat to the Taxi Drivers
