Thus, Uber became the first app-based online cab aggregator to operate in South Africa. Uber and Taxify are the major players in the market. Online cab aggregators have expanded the market beyond the existing market of traditional metered taxis.

On numerous occasions, violence has erupted between metered taxi operators and online cab aggregator drivers in the country as the metered taxi operators accused the online cab aggregators of stealing business and competing unfairly due to low fares which could not be matched. In 2018, the major markets in the Northern region in South Africa for online cab aggregators are Johannesburg and Pretoria. This is majorly due to the large populations in these cities.

The market size of the online cab aggregator market is expected to augment at a positive CAGR for the period 2018- 2023.

The huge drop in the growth rate is expected as even though the online cabs have been expanding at a tremendous rate till now, they are expected to reach a saturation point in the near future. Their growth will also be restricted by the low paying capacity of most of the people in the country. In the long run, it is expected that the market will be largely dominated by two or three players only.

The number of rides is expected to register constant growth as companies expand their presence to more cities. The online cab aggregator companies may also introduce the concept of shared rides in the country, which is already functional in more developed markets around the globe.
