Over the past five years, the Limousine and Town Car Services industry has contended with internal and external challenges. However, the industry has been helped by growing per capita disposable income, leading many consumers to spend on luxury car services rather than less-expensive alternatives. Moreover, new technology, particularly mobile apps such as Uber and Lyft that connect drivers and customers, has enabled greater ease of booking and paying for town cars and has provided the industry with a growing pool of customers. In 2020, falling domestic trips due to COVID-19 dampened industry demand from leisure clients, which account for more than one-third of industry revenue. As a result, industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualized rate of 7.0% to $4.7 billion over the five years to 2023, including an expected fall of 2.8% in 2023 alone.IBISWorld estimates that more than 90.0% of the industry's businesses are nonemployers with no staff, including the tens of thousands of drivers that now use transport network companies such as Lyft and Uber. These new mobile transportation apps have facilitated more nonemployers to enter the industry with the promise of deciding how many hours to work and where to operate. Over the past five years, industry locations have fallen as more than one of every four nonemployers stopped driving in 2020. Additionally, intensified ride-sharing competition, rising fuel costs, and vehicle prices have collectively driven down industry profit.Over the next five years, the industry is expected to continue to decline, damaged permanently by the expectation of lower-cost contractor luxury rideshare services. While limousine companies that can innovate and add new features such as mobile booking and Wi-Fi are unlikely to fold, the industry has been put in reverse. For these reasons, IBISWorld expects industry revenue will fall at an annualized rate of 0.7% to $4.5 billion over the five years to 2028.
