Taxi & Limousine Services in the US Industry Market Research...

Sunday, 25 March 2012 06:44

IBISWorld Market ResearchAfter declines in business profit and disposable income limited individual and corporate expenditure on transportation, the industry is set to revive. In particular, consumer spending will revive, resulting in greater investment in taxi and limousine services. On the other hand, high fuel prices and increased regulations will threaten growth. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Taxi & Limousine Services in the US industry to its growing industry report collection. IBISWorld Market Research Operators are investing in fuel-efficient vehicles to offset rising fuel costs and shrinking profit

The Taxi and Limousine Services industry suffered from a dip in consumer spending in 2008 and 2009. This fall was provoked by low disposable incomes, high unemployment and stricter corporate spending practices. In response to these changes, consumers switched to other types of transportation, such as public transit or carpooling. Alternatively, consumers downgraded from higher-cost services, like limousine services or luxury sedans, to taxis. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Lauren Setar, “one of the industry's largest markets is corporate travelers and business commuters.” The recession caused corporate profit to contract, which led many businesses to slash spending and corporate travel. This resulted in a substantial decline in demand for industry services. The luxury segment has been most adversely affected, with demand for limousines, town cars and luxury sedans falling sharply in 2008 and 2009. The recession's effects have been so severe that consumers resorted to cutting back on hiring limousines for weddings.
