Diagnosis Procedure Demand Boosted Significantly due to COVID-19 Pandemic

As domestic and international travel was restricted during the pandemic, the lockdown resulted in a significant drop in air traffic. Airlines offered only 51% of available seats in order to maintain social distance, resulting in a total passenger reduction of around 2.89 billion and a loss of approximately USD 391 billion in airline revenue. This sharp drop in travelers had a significant impact on the airport taxi industry, with a drop of more than 30% during the pandemic.

Public Transportation Overload and Social Distancing Guidelines are Driving the Market's Growth

Overcrowding in developing and underdeveloped countries, as well as extensive social distancing guidelines enforced by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic, influenced the populace to use car rental services for travel and commuting. As a result, the increased use of car rental services for comfortable and safe transportation is expected to fuel market growth in the near future.

Furthermore, appealing car rental subscription plans rolled out by key players to offer personal mobility to customers to limit interactions and maintain social distance during pandemics have fueled the popularity and adoption of these services globally. During the forecast period, rising oil prices are expected to hamper the car rental market growth.
