The sharing economy in the Arab World is witnessing an ongoing shift in the trend of owning rather than accessing. This shift has turned things around. The value of the product in the Arab World is becoming focused on usage – not in outright ownership; as was the case with the mainstream consumer model. Used products are becoming more fashionable, thanks in part, to the popularity of online platforms for buying and selling used goods.
People are also adopting what could be called collaborative lifestyles. Residents depend on each other in circulating and spreading information that occupies their daily interests and concerns. An example can be seen in the turbulent upheavals of the Arab Spring where the power of social media and its effect on society have accelerated the rate at which relationships develop and information is shared.
The sharing economy movement in the Arab World has seen a positive eruption in recent years. We’re beginning to share more and more in the Arab world. Examples include boats (fishfishme); skills (Taskty); carpooling (Kartag); swapping goods (Swaphood ). The Arab world is also adopting used goods platforms (krakeebegypt, dubizzle.com, Avito.ma). In Morocco, a classified ads website has become the second most-visited website in the country. In Dubai, the first online marketplace for peer-to-peer goods sharing will open (launch) soon (Takemine).
