The sharing economy is booming, and these 16 companies are ideally positioned to benefit

Credit Suisse published a report Friday listing 16 companies that will benefit, directly or indirectly, from the burgeoning sector.

Venture capital investors say sharing firms are worth more than $220 billion, according to PWC, with their value set to reach $335 billion by 2025.

That growth is being driven by a combination of macro-economic and psychological factors: an urbanizing population that is increasingly cost and environment conscious. The population is also tech-savvy and keen on living a "useful life," according to Credit Suisse.

There are also a number of beneficiaries outside the sharing sector - such as insurance and banking giant, AXA.

Here is the list.
