Sunday Jacob Nwanyim as American-based Nigerian Researcher has recorded a major breakthrough in his recent work on revolutionising taxi driving.
The global taxi market is experiencing significant growth and transformation, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer preferences.
The market size is projected to reach USD 303.76 billion in 2025 and grow at a CAGR of 9.01% to reach USD 467.58 billion by 2030.
This growth is fueled by the digital transformation of the industry, with the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time tracking capabilities revolutionizing taxi services.
In a summary document of the research obtained by our reporter, it noted that the widespread adoption of mobile technology has led to an increase in ride-hailing trips, projected to surge from 15 million daily trips to an estimated 100 million by 2030.
The document noted that the online sector for in-app transactions is expected to grow, enhancing efficiency and creating more revenue opportunities for taxi drivers.
“The industry is witnessing significant consolidation through strategic partnerships and mergers, as companies seek to strengthen their market position and expand their service offerings.
“Major ride-hailing platforms are expanding beyond traditional taxi services to include food delivery, logistics, and financial services”, the document noted.
Taking a clue from the United Stated market insight, the document said that the U.S. taxi and limousine services market has shown strong growth in recent years.
It recorded that the market is expected to grow from $125.83 billion in 2024 to $137.21 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
The document attributed the growth to Technological Development, Changing Consumer Preferences, Competitive Pricing and. Economic Factors.
On the future outlook, the document noted that the global taxi market is expected to continue its growth trajectory.
It highlighted Urbanization, Technological Advancements, Regulatory Environment, Sustainability Initiatives, as the contributory factors.
“In conclusion, while the taxi market faces challenges from ride-hailing platforms, it is also adapting and innovating to remain competitive.
“The integration of technology and the shift in consumer preferences are reshaping the industry, presenting both challenges and opportunities for traditional taxi services and new market entrants alike.
On bridging the gap between traditional taxis and rideshare platforms the document said the rise of rideshare giants like Uber and Lyft has dramatically reshaped urban transportation, leaving traditional taxi drivers struggling to compete.
“While rideshare platforms leverage cutting-edge technology to optimize driver earnings, taxi drivers often lack the same level of data-driven decision-making.
“That’s where our system steps in—an innovative solution designed to help Chicago taxi drivers maximize their revenue by making smarter, data-backed decisions on where and when to operate.
“By analyzing historical ride patterns, travel times, and revenue trends, this system provides real-time insights, allowing taxi drivers to navigate the city with precision and target high-revenue areas efficiently.
“Our system is powered by Big Data technologies, machine learning, and geospatial analysis. It analyzes over 16 million taxi trips from 2020 to 2023, collected from public datasets on Google Cloud, to uncover high-demand locations where drivers can maximize earnings.
“The current implementation focuses on Chicago, but the framework is scalable to other U.S. states and even globally”, the document explained.
This system according to the document empowers taxi drivers with technology-driven insights—a competitive edge they previously lacked against rideshare platforms.
It said by maximizing revenue per hour, drivers can optimize their routes and increase daily earnings with minimal guesswork.
“Beyond Chicago, this approach can be scaled nationwide to other U.S. cities, adapting to different urban transit patterns. Additionally, the system could integrate with global markets, bringing data-driven insights to traditional taxi drivers worldwide.
“While the current system optimizes a single trip decision, the next phase aims to provide an end-to-end daily route optimization”, it added.
According to Nwanyim, the main out come of the system is to help taxi drivers maximize the most amount of money.
