Think of Uber, Instacart, and Airbnb- all these applications have made their strong presence in thousands of millions of smartphones worldwide. Their success stories have become an inspiration for many startups that want to leverage the benefits of a booming on-demand economy. It is fair to mention that on-demand apps play a vital role in setting new trends in the domain of mobile app development every year.

Be it beauty or healthcare, car rentals or home service, bakery, or food delivery, every service industry can make the most of a thriving on-demand app development domain. What’s more, this list keeps on increasing as time advances in line with the changing requirements of people.

Let’s make a list of service industries that have leveraged the benefits of on-demand app development services.

• Food Delivery Service- In this pandemic time, on-demand food delivery app and on-demand grocery delivery apps top the chart of the most downloaded apps. People prefer to place orders for their favorite foods and groceries using apps and get them delivered at their doorsteps without going out. This comfort and convenience have made on-demand food delivery apps in demand.

Many restaurants or takeaways have launched their apps for offering on-demand food delivery services to their customers. These apps not only help them attract more customers but also enable them to streamline ordering and delivery processes.

• Grocery Delivery Service- Gone are the days when people stood in a long queue at the cash counters of supermarkets or large brick-and-mortar grocery stores. These days, on-demand grocery delivery apps like Walmart Grocery and Instacart have set new records in the daily number of downloads thanks to people’s changing requirements.

The on-demand grocery app enables your customers to give orders of groceries they need, and you can deliver the orders at their doorsteps with ease. What’s more, you can attract and retain your customers by providing app-based discounts and personalized experience to your customers.

• Car & Bike Repairing Service- The demand for efficient car and bike repairing is increasing in line with the rise in the number of vehicles. People want on-road assistance for quickly repairing their vehicles. Also, it is quite a task to find efficient car and bike mechanics in different areas especially when your vehicle suddenly stops.

The mobile app development company can build a simple and user-friendly app for car and bike repairing app for garages and assist them to reach a huge local audience with a swift and seamless experience as per their needs.

• Cab Hailing Service- The taxi rental or cab-hailing service sector is booming. Though Uber and other cab-hailing apps have set new milestones in the sector, it is still wide open for new players in terms of opportunities. The taxi rental sector can be broadly categorized into on-demand cabs, cabs on rent, hiring buses or personal chauffeurs, and hiring trucks for carrying goods.

Cab-hailing apps like Uber can also get a good response from a huge audience at the local level if your app has user-friendly features and your company has an efficient network of dedicated drivers.

• Courier & Logistics Service- This sector has remained in demand for a long time. Businesses and individuals across the world want excellent courier and logistics services that deliver their parcels or other items on time. The courier and logistics sector has therefore witnessed a huge surge in revenue in recent times.

You can facilitate your customers to book their orders through an on-demand courier delivery app. They can easily select the cover size and pay securely online while booking their couriers through your app. Your courier company can streamline the order booking and delivery processes by bringing automation.

• Travel and Tourism Sector- One of the biggest beneficiaries of on-demand delivery apps is the travel and tourism sector. If you own a travel company, you can come up with a dedicated app that facilitates your customers to find packages and select the most convenient one.

Usually, tourists hire a travel agency for hotel accommodation and flight tickets. As a service provider, you can offer them an app to save their time and effort in booking hotels or flights.

• Home Decor Service- Advancements of emerging technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have brought revolutionary changes in the home decor and interior designing sector. You can show your customer the changes in real-time using AR and VR-based features in the app. The on-demand interior designing app can enable you to offer your services in a better way by highlighting changes effectively.

It is fair to mention that the effect of visuals is much more powerful than a verbal description. As you can show the possible changes in the design of offices or homes by changing colors and arrangement of things, people can easily connect to your business and prefer your interior designing services over your peers.

• Coaching Service- The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and work significantly. Nowadays, students need online coaching for academic studies and other co-curricular activities. Be it self-defense techniques, yoga classes, or dancing and cooking classes, coaching institutes need to bring their apps to stay ahead of the curve and take their services to a new level.

Many schools, colleges, and coaching institutes have already started providing online education so that students can learn from their homes. There, feature-rich on-demand tutorial and coaching apps can work wonders.
