The economy segment is anticipated to account for 78.6 % in 2025, the largest market share in Indonesia's ride-hailing market, driven by frequent transportation requirements among employees, students, urban households, motorcycle users and price-sensitive customers. Demand is concentrated in short- and medium-distance journeys, with motorcycle-based rides gaining preference due to lower fares, reduced travel time and greater maneuverability across congested urban roads. Moreover, Gojek, Grab, Maxim and inDrive are strengthening economy ride offerings through competitive pricing, promotional discounts, driver availability and convenient app-based bookings. The shift from informal street-hailing towards digital transportation platforms is further supporting segment demand, as customers increasingly prefer real-time driver tracking, fare estimates, digital payments and booking convenience.

In contrast, the luxury segment is projected to grow at CAGR of 12.5% by 2031, offers high-income residents, corporate executives, business travelers, tourists and customers seeking higher-comfort transportation. Demand is primarily associated with premium vehicle quality, interior comfort, luggage capacity, airport transfers, hotel connectivity and planned business journeys. Moreover, luxury rides allow operators to diversify their service portfolios through higher-value car transportation, although segment utilization depends on customer demand, premium vehicle availability, driver supply and fleet operating costs. Indonesia's ride-hailing market will continue to be dominated by high-frequency economy motorcycle and standard car transportation, while premium and luxury services are developing around corporate mobility, airport transportation, tourism and customers seeking enhanced travel comfort.

The two-wheeler vehicle segment accounts for 64.6% in 2025, supported by high motorcycle ownership, persistent urban traffic congestion and demand for affordable point-to-point transportation. Motorcycles are widely used across Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan and other major cities, where their ability to navigate congested roads makes them suitable for short- and medium-distance journeys. The segment serves to daily commuters, students, employees and price-sensitive customers, while supporting first- and last-mile connectivity with public transportation. Gojek's GoRide and Grab's GrabBike provide app-based motorcycle transportation, competing through driver availability, competitive fares, pickup times and service coverage. Moreover, motorcycles offer lower purchase prices, fuel consumption and maintenance costs compared with passenger cars, supporting their suitability for high-frequency commercial operations. Gojek's GoRide vehicle requirements, including engine displacement of up to 250 cc and an eight-year vehicle age limit, further reflect the use of standardized motorcycles for urban passenger transportation.

In contrast, four-wheelers are expected to grow at CAGR of 8.1% by 2031, serves to customers requiring greater passenger comfort, luggage capacity and multi-passenger transportation. The segment supports airport transfers, family travel, corporate commuting, business trips and longer-distance urban journeys through Gojek's and Grab's car-based services. Moreover, Indonesia's passenger vehicle market provides an additional vehicle supply base for ride-hailing operators, with passenger car sales reaching approximately 613,000 units in 2025. Four-wheelers also allow operators to serve higher-value private transportation requirements, although vehicle acquisition, fuel and maintenance costs remain higher than those associated with motorcycles. Two-wheelers will continue to account for the majority of ride-hailing trips in Indonesia, while four-wheelers will support demand for airport transfers, group transportation, longer journeys and higher-comfort mobility.
