  • Asia Pacific car rental market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12.5% over the forecast period on account of high growth prospects of the tourism industry, especially in China, India, and South-East Asian countries. The Chinese government has banned car purchases in certain parts of the country to address increasing traffic and pollution which is expected to encourage people towards renting or sharing cars. North American and the European rental services are expected to witness substantial growth in business and leisure travelers. The growth can be attributed to multiple factors, such as increasing urban population, rise in the number of high-net worth individuals, escalating demand for recreational and leisure activities, and the flourishing economic scenario leading to an increase in consumer spending power.
