inDrive Surges as Nigeria's Top Ride-Hailing App

inDrive has strengthened its presence in Nigeria's ride-hailing market, becoming the most-installed ride-hailing app with a 96% increase in app installs. This growth follows Uber's exit from Nigeria, prompting passengers and drivers to seek alternatives.

Independent data from Sensor Tower indicates that inDrive is expanding its active user base as affordability and flexibility become crucial for Nigerian commuters. Timothy Oladimeji, Country Manager of inDrive Nigeria, stated that the company's model, which allows fare negotiation between passengers and drivers, is tailored to the realities of emerging markets. inDrive is also developing a broader mobility and delivery ecosystem to serve passengers, drivers, and businesses, with its Delivery service extending its reach into the business-to-business market.

The competitive landscape in Nigeria's mobility sector remains intense, with platforms that combine affordability and flexibility likely to capture a larger market share as consumer needs evolve.
