The Singapore micromobility market reached a revenue of $15.8 million in 2020, and it is predicted to demonstrate a CAGR of 64.2% from 2021 to 2030 (forecast period). Furthermore, the market will attain a value of $1,817.9 million by 2030, as per the estimates of PS Intelligence, a market research company based in India. The market is being driven by the burgeoning requirement for efficient transportation systems for short-distance commute, unfavorable automobile ownership regulations in several countries, and increasing road congestion, especially in urban areas.

Singapore is a tiny country, with an area of only 728.6-square-km. As a result, the booming population and the surging number of vehicles are causing road congestion, especially in the major cities. Owing to this reason, the government is using the policy of bidding via which citizens are being granted a certificate of entitlement, which permits them to own a vehicle for only 10 years. Moreover, the cost of buying a personal vehicle is quite high in the country, because of the high import charges and the existence of the bidding process.

As micromobility services reduce the requirement for personal vehicle ownership and bridge the gap in first- and last-mile connectivity, they are being increasingly adopted in the country. Besides this factor, the soaring requirement for an efficient transportation system for traveling short distances is also fueling the expansion of the Singapore micromobility market. In addition, the problem of limited parking spaces in the country is also propelling the demand for micromobility services in the country.

Depending on vehicle type, the market is divided into e-bikes, e-pods, e-mopeds, e-scooters, scooters, and bikes. Amongst these, the e-scooters category is predicted to hold the largest share in the Singapore micromobility market during the forecast period. This will be because of the ability of e-scooter sharing services to solve the issue of first- and last-mile connectivity, unlike the other public transportation services in the country. When model is taken into consideration, the micromobility market is classified into multimodal and first- and last-mile.

Between these, the first- and last-mile model held the larger share in the market between 2019 and 2020, and this trend is predicted to continue in the upcoming years as well. This is ascribed to the fact that the existing first- and last-mile transportation systems in the country are not efficient and convenient, owing to the high population and the presence of unfavorable automobile ownership regulations. The Singapore micromobility market is also divided into docked and dockless, depending on the sharing system.

Of these, the dockless sharing system category is predicted to exhibit faster growth in the market in the coming years. The implementation of favorable government policies, soaring popularity of bikes, and the greater convenience provided by the vehicles under this sharing system in comparison to the vehicles under the docked system, are driving the advancement of this category in the market. The players operating in the industry are focusing on partnerships and collaborations in order to remain competitive and gain an edge over their rivals.

Hence, it can be safely said that the market will demonstrate rapid expansion in the coming years, mainly because of the surging requirement for improved first- and last-mile connectivity, increasing road congestion, and unfavorable automobile ownership laws in the country.
