Mexico’s Mobility Apps Top $2.35 Billion as Study Finds They Complement Transit

A new DiDi–Kantar study finds platforms now serve a first‑last mile link to mass transit across Mexican cities.

Overview

  • The DiDi–Kantar report released Tuesday values Mexico’s mobility‑app market at more than $2.35 billion.
  • Apps now account for 17% of main trips, trailing buses at 24% and surpassing the metro at 15% and street taxis at 10%.
  • About 30% of rides start or end near a public‑transport station, which supports the view that apps complement mass transit.
  • DiDi reports about 29 million people took at least one ride in 2025, and women make up 62% of its daytime riders.
  • Kantar and DiDi say demand for greener travel rose 22% in the last year, and DiDi is targeting 100,000 electric vehicles in Mexico by 2030.
