By 2025, it is estimated that economic sharing, defined as the peer-to-peer based sharing of access to goods and services (often coordinated through community-based processes) will generate a revenue stream of around $335 billion in just five sectors (car sharing, finance, music, staffing/recruitment, travel and video streaming). Growing in part over concerns of negative impacts of urbanization and overpopulation, climate change, income inequality and its potential to increase access to underutilized resources, economic sharing has garnered considerable attention in recent years.
