- Uber has exited Pakistan due to tough competition from local rivals, marking the end of its operations in the country.
- Despite Uber’s departure, its subsidiary, Careem, will continue offering ride-hailing services across Pakistan.
- The Pakistani ride-hailing market has seen significant growth, with new local players offering competitive rates, impacting the dominance of Careem and Uber.
Uber’s decision to withdraw from Pakistan comes amidst stiff competition from local ride-hailing companies. While Careem, Uber’s subsidiary, will continue to operate, Uber itself will no longer provide services in the country. The competition in Pakistan’s ride-hailing market has intensified in recent years, with new entrants offering attractive rates that have challenged the dominance of established players like Careem and Uber.
The rise of services like In-Ride, which enable users to negotiate fares directly with drivers, has further disrupted the market. Despite the setback, Careem remains committed to offering reliable ride-hailing services to Pakistani customers. With the exit of Uber, the landscape of ride-hailing in Pakistan is set to evolve further, with local players vying for market share and catering to the diverse transportation needs of the Pakistani population.
