Key Highlights
- In the second year of the global pandemic, the US car rental market sustained its top position in terms of rental market value in 2021. Though the sector witnessed a shortage of rental cars because of the semiconductor crisis, the US car rental market value saw an annual growth of 21% and a recovery to 88.2% of pre-pandemic levels.
- The global car rental industry is likely to be taken over by electric cars within a few years. With climate change and global warming being the hot topic globally, governments and businesses around the globe are promoting environmentally friendly ways of doing things. The transition to electric vehicles is not only seen in the car owning system but is also influencing the rental car market. For instance, the European Union’s agenda to eradicate the sale of petrol/diesel cars in the 2030s has led to a high demand for electric vehicles in the European car rental market.
