Industry analyst Vishwas Shankar, will provide a strategic overview and analysis of the current and future of traditional as well as P2P car sharing services in Europe. He will present details on key markets, participants, market size, growth potential, drivers and restraints and inform about operator announcements regarding their upcoming car sharing programmes in the region.

“Traditional car sharing in Europe is expected to grow at a healthy 40 per cent CAGR from now to nearly 15 million members by 2020,” says Shankar. “While more than 200 traditional car sharing operators are key to the expansion of the market, focused entry and expansion by various transport operators and vehicle OEMs in specified European markets is important for an accelerated growth.
