Competitive Landscape

The Chinese car rental market is significantly fragmented, with more than 100 companies having a fleet size of less than 50. The companies try to enjoy a competitive advantage over others by providing a wide range of services. CAR (China Auto Rental Holdings), the biggest player in the China vehicle rental market and holds a significant share in the market. However, there are thousands of other rental companies with an average fleet size of fewer than 50 cars. The need for self-drive trips for leisure and business purposes, compounded with the gap between the number of cars in possession and licensed car drivers, (due to the government’s restrictions on car purchasing in order to control traffic congestion and air pollution) would augment the growth of the market considerably.

Chained operators with nationwide coverage are expected to outperform other regional players considerably due to the variety of fleets they can offer with the convenient services provided by these dominant players. Mergers and acquisitions are expected to be rampant, causing small players to strategically merge or exit the market over the forecast period, with market share concentrated among the leading players only.
