  • Delningsekonomin
    DELNINGSEKONOMIN ETT NYHETSBREV FRÅN FUTUREWISE — FEBRUARI 2019 — FUTUREWISE DELNINGSEKONOMIN – EN UPPDATERING I april 2011 skrev jag ett nyhetsbrev med titeln ”Ägandets utdöende”. Det var en tidig spaning om fenomenet att dela saker istället för att äga dem. Året efter, 2012, dök begreppet ”sharing econo- my” upp och 2015 introducerades ordet ”delningsekonomi” på Svenska språkrådets nyordslista. Delningsekonomi beskrivs i Nationalencyklopedin som ett ”samlingsnamn på aktiviteter som syftar till minskad resursåtgång genom effektivare kapacitetsutnyttjande såsom delning av till- gång till varor och tjänster.” Delningsekonomin har setts som en frälsare av många. Den ska minska konsumtionen, rädda klimatet, skapa nya arbetstillfällen och öka jämlikheten. Men efter fem års flitig medietäckning kan man konstatera att toppen på hypen nu har passerats. Istället har fenomenet till stor del hamnat i medieskugga och en viss besvikelse över att de storslagna visionerna inte inträffat går att skönja. Under de åtta år som har förflutit sedan det tidigare nyhetsbrevet har mycket hänt. Hösten 2018 gjorde Futurewise på uppdrag av Konsumentverket en nulägesbeskrivning av delningseko- nomin. Vi studerade utvecklingen för dagens aktörer, liksom aktuella trender och gjorde också flera framtidsscenarier. Detta underlag har efter bearbetning av Konsumentverket resulterat i en 55-sidig rapport. I detta nyhetsbrev presenterar vi en del av dessa resultat. Konsumentverkets rapport innehåller mer läsning för den som vill fördjupa sig. Länk: https://publikationer.konsumentverket.se/pro- dukter-och-tjanster/ovriga-omraden/rapport- 2018-16-var-omvarld-2018 DELNINGSEKONOMIN ÄR DÖD – ELLER? ”Delningsekonomin är död” proklamerade tidningen Fast Company 2015. De menade att alla gil- lar budskapet med delning: minskad konsumtion, bättre för klimatet, fler sociala kontakter – men vi ändrar inte våra vanor.
