Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ride-Hailing Service Market
The North American market had suffered considerable economic losses in the first two quarters of 2020, owing to high count of COVID-19 cases, especially in the US. The economic growth was slowed, which directly impacted the ride-hailing service across the region. North America is one of the leading regions in terms of new technology development and adoption, owing to favorable government policies that encourage innovation and improve infrastructure capabilities. As a result, any impact on the industrial sector's expansion hinders the region's economic growth. Due of the COVID-19 outbreak, the United States is currently the world's worst-affected country. Owing to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the lower cross-border activities and implications of social distancing regulation for supporting the slow-down of the virus spread, the ride-hailing industry is being impacted negatively. However, increasing cost of ownership supported the market growth in the year 2021 and expected to continue in forecasted period. For instance, according to American Automobile Association (AAA), the average cost of owning and operating a new car grew by US$ 279 from 2019 to US$ 9,561 in 2020.
