EXPO 2027 — Revenue Potential for Serbia’s Taxi Sector
The World Expo 2027 in Belgrade is not only an infrastructural and tourism milestone — it’s an unprecedented economic opportunity for Serbia’s taxi industry. Based on fleet analysis and sector projections, here’s how revenues could grow:
1. Increased Ride Volume During EXPO
– Expected visitors: 3–4 million
– If just 10% use taxis → 300,000–400,000 extra rides
– Average fare: €6–€10 → additional monthly revenue: €2M–€4M
2. Higher Daily Turnover per Vehicle
• Standard traffic: €60/day
• During the EXPO: €100–€120/day
• For 5,000 vehicles in Belgrade → additional daily revenue: €200K–€300K
• Over 90 days of the EXPO → €18M–€27M
3. Contracts with travel agencies
• Package deals include taxi transportation
• Assumption: 10,000 packages with included rides
• Revenue per package: €20–€30 → €200K–€300K
4. Digital Visibility = More Clients
• SEO optimization, presence on apps, Google profiles
• Increase in ride volume by 20–30% for companies with online presence
• Additional revenue: €5M+ in urban areas
5. Long-term effects after the EXPO
• A “quantum leap” in Serbian tourism is expected
• The taxi sector may retain 10–15% of the increased volume even after 2027
• Annual revenue growth: €30M–€50M if the sector undergoes modernization
6. E-Fiscalization = Greater Trust
– Digital receipts and fiscal systems simplify operations
– Legal transparency attracts hotels, event organizers, and agencies
7. Electrification = Lower Costs, Higher Net Income
– EV subsidies reduce fuel costs by 30–50%
– Net income per vehicle could rise from €700 to €1,000+ monthly
These projections are conservative and exclude unregistered activity, seasonal fluctuations, and specialized services. With full fiscal reporting and digital integration, the sector’s real value could exceed half a billion euros annually.
Conclusion
Based on fleet data and 2025 market analysis, Serbia’s taxi sector could, during EXPO 2027:
– Generate an additional €20M–€40M
– Increase net income per vehicle by 30–50%
– Achieve international visibility and long-term contracts
