Automated Passenger Counting System Market

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global automated passenger counting system market was valued at USD 9.24 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 10.11 billion in 2024  from USD 20.74 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.40% from 2024 to 2032.

Automated passenger counting (APC) systems are computerized mechanisms that count the number of passengers who board and depart at each stop. Along with AVL services, they are the two most critical innovations that every transportation system should have. In the networks that have them, the schedule checkers are replaced by these systems instead of gathering rider data manually. When the Federal Transit Administration is confident that this system is configured correctly, the ridership data they receive can be used to satisfy the National Transit Database requirements.

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Drivers

The government regulations in some countries where the government routinely demands customer information from fleet operators are crucial drivers of the automated passenger counting system market. With the location-wise segmented rider data, fleet operators can concentrate on the high-traffic regions and therefore gain a significant economic advantage by running their operations in these regions. 

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Restraints

The lack of infrastructure for the construction of customer information management systems and a lack of understanding of the benefits provided by passenger counting systems in several countries is a significant factor that is restricting the growth of the automated passenger counting system market.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Analysis By Application 

Of these, Roadways is both the largest and the fastest-growing segment, which accounted for the bulk of the market share. In 2019, the Roadways contributed a market share of 55%. The part is expected to expand at a CAGR of 22% during the forecast period of 2019 - 2024. The reason for such growth of the segment is attributed to the increased usage of automated passenger counting systems in buses to ensure a secure service offering, and they help in the smooth flow of transport operations. Increasing awareness of the benefits of such counting systems among fleet operators further encourages the use of APCs in buses.

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Analysis By Technology 

Of these, Stereoscopic Vision is the most significant segment accounting for a market share of over 40%. The segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 21.3% during the forecast period of 2019 - 2024. The reason for such growth is attributed to the accurate information provided by stereoscopic vision during heavy-volume traffic situations. It is also to be noted that this accuracy is unaffected by environmental conditions, light, heat, and shadows, unlike Infrared sensors.

Global Automated Passenger Counting System Market Analysis By End-Use

Out of these, the Busses segment holds the majority of the market share with over 45%. The reason for such market share is attributed to the frequent use of buses by people. Busses are the most common means of transport in many regions. So, the service providers want to analyze the data of the buses at different times so that they can improve their services in the specific areas where the demand is higher, which will help with their economic development. Also, the Ferries segment is the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 24%. The growth of the section is attributed to the increasing ferry vacation culture all around the world.
