Recommendation

Gen Z seems to have a marked distaste for owning physical objects, and subscription service start-ups may take advantage of this generational quirk. Of all the industries ripe for disruption by subscription services, transportation seems a likely candidate. Who wants to own a high-priced physical object that depreciates no matter how you use it? In this special report, the Boston Consulting Group explores vehicle subscription services.

Take-Aways

  • The sharing economy and subscription services could change the modern transportation market, and investors are taking note.
  • The car subscription value chain requires wildly divergent competencies, so partnerships among various providers will be key.
  • While the market is ripe for development, vehicle subscription services won’t crush the traditional auto industry anytime soon.
