 Which industry-specific innovations are acting as key drivers for the passenger car rental market?
 The low rate of car ownership among millennials is expected to propel the growth of the passenger car rental market going forward. The owner of a vehicle is defined as either a person who is legally in possession of the vehicle or the person whose name is on the vehicle’s registration with the Department of Motor Vehicles. The high cost of maintaining vehicles has led to a lower rate of car ownership among millennials resulting in increasingly renting cars instead of buying them. For instance, in November 2023, according to Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency in 2022, Canada saw a slight increase in the total number of registered road motor vehicles, reaching 26.3 million, which marked a 0.3% rise compared to the previous year, equivalent to an additional 78,655 units on the roads. Therefore, the low rate of car ownership among millennials is driving the growth of the passenger car rental market.
