- Willingness to Participate in Sharing Economy – Propensity to participate higher in Asia Pacific (78%), Latin America (70%), and Middle East and Africa (68%), than more developed regions in 2014
- Socioeconomic Implications – More than one million jobs created in 2016, expecting to generate market revenue of $33 billion and grow 25% to 30% annually
- Growth Drivers – Include increasing accessibility of products and services, creation of new jobs, more efficient use of underutilized assets, less expensive cost of accessing than ownership, and additional income source potential
