Thematic Intelligence: Sharing Economy
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. As the world grows ever more interconnected, the sharing economy is based on ideas of community. Individuals can share assets such as clothes and toys or services such as household skills and insurance. The sharing economy displaces the notion of ownership as individuals can rent rather than buy assets.
Key Highlights
- According to consensus forecasts, the sharing economy market is expected to reach over $1 trillion in revenue by 2031. As the sharing economy model reaches maturity, companies that made their name as disruptors, like Uber and Airbnb, are now the incumbents. They face a new wave of disruption from smaller players harnessing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.
- New technologies such as generative AI allow sharing economy platforms to enhance their services. Companies such as Airbnb and Lemonade have integrated AI into their offerings to provide more personalized recommendations or more efficient services. As AI develops, sharing economy platforms will use it to understand their consumers better and provide more personalized offerings.
