Sharing Economy - Thematic Research

Summary

The sharing economy is an economic system in which private individuals share assets and services, either free or for a charge, often using a community-based online platform. The sharing economy has enjoyed a rapid rise, particularly over the last decade. It has penetrated most industries, facilitated by improvements in the performance of digital platforms and consumers' increasing willingness to use mobile apps that support peer-to-peer business models.

Key Highlights
  • Technology has emerged as the key enabler for the adoption of the sharing economy. Companies are now using GPS, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to connect consumers with owners in real-time.
  • Today's sharing services are supported by technologies that store and process vast amounts of data about people and assets. Data analytics plays a crucial role by deploying models that collect and analyze extensive data sets and provide users with actionable insights. The technology will continue developing and evolving, becoming more suited to facilitating the sharing economy.
