Japan Micro-Mobility Market Report by Type, Propulsion Type, Sharing Type, Speed, Age Group, Ownership, and Region 2025-2033

Japan micro-mobility market size reached USD 3.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 13.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5% during 2025-2033. The increasing advances in battery technology and the development of efficient electric motors, which have made it easier to manufacture and operate electric scooters, e-bikes, and other micro-mobility vehicles, are driving the market.

Micro-mobility refers to the integration of small, lightweight transportation options into urban transport networks designed to cover short distances and provide last-mile connectivity. Typically powered by electric motors, these vehicles include e-scooters, e-bikes, and other compact personal transport devices. The rise of micro-mobility is driven by the increasing need for sustainable, efficient, and congestion-reducing transportation alternatives in crowded urban areas. These services often operate on a share-based model, allowing users to rent vehicles through smartphone applications, contributing to the ease of access and flexibility in urban commuting. Micro-mobility solutions address gaps in traditional public transportation systems, providing a convenient option for short trips that might be too long to walk but too short to drive. By reducing reliance on personal automobiles for short distances, micro-mobility can significantly decrease traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to improved air quality. Furthermore, it promotes active transportation, potentially leading to health benefits for users.
