Despite the controversy that surrounds the company in many places, Uber’s global presence has increased enormously over the last three years; since late 2016 the total value of Uber bookings worldwide has more than tripled, reaching over 40.7 billion U.S. dollars in the first nine months of 2020. Uber's gross bookings peaked at just over 18 billion U.S. dollars in the fourth quarter of 2019. Uber Eats contributed over 58 percent to total bookings in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Ridesharing
Ridesharing services are online networks where drivers can ‘share’ space in their personal vehicle to passengers (who are also members of the network) for a fee. The service therefore operates like a traditional taxi, with the key difference being the use of technology and private vehicles. The latter exempts the network from the regulatory framework applicable to taxis. Accordingly, much lower prices can be offered by ridesharing services. Uber is by far the largest ridesharing service in the United States and has the largest market value of any such platform globally.
The source defines gross bookings as the total dollars value of ridesharing and new mobility rides, Uber Eats meal deliveries and Uber Freight.
