Uber is attracting the attention of some uber-wealthy investors.
Estonian ride-hailing and food delivery startup Bolt said on Thursday it had hit 2 billion euros ($2.11 billion) in annual revenue, as the European rival of U.S.-based Uber grows its global presence and prepares to go public.
Uber's Monthly Active Platform Consumers (MAPCs) reached 161 million in Q3 2024, growing 32% from Q2 2022, signaling robust user expansion. Mobility segment bookings hit $21 billion in Q3 2024, nearly doubling in two years, showing strong core business stability. Delivery segment bookings rose to $18.66 billion in Q3 2024, with a YoY growth increase from 12% to 17%, reflecting demand.
Ridesharing companies like Uber are poised for long-term growth due to slowing growth in vehicle ownership, rising vehicle costs, and declining vehicle usage. Vehicle ownership growth is plateauing in the United States, with rising costs making personal vehicles less economical, especially in urban areas.

Competitive threats from Lyft-DoorDash partnership and potential Tesla Cybercab release are emerging, and investors need to be wary.
