Uber’s global user base climbed to 156 million in 2024, an increase of 14 times since 2015 and roughly 58% higher than its IPO year in 2019.
Meanwhile, annual rides hit 11.3 billion in 2024, equivalent to an average of 72 rides per use throughout the year.
After a sharp dip in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when users dropped to 55 million and trips to 5 billions, Uber rebounded swiftly.
By 2022, both metrics had recovered to surpass pre-pandemic levels, continuing their upward trajectory into 2024.
Uber’s global presence and commitment to innovation are stronger than ever, with the company ranking among the leaders in R&D spending growth.
As part of its push into autonomous mobility it recently launched ride-hailing services with Waymo’s self-driving vehicles in Atlanta and Austin directly through the Uber app.
