The global automated fare collection system market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The contactless end-to-end solution for the collection of fare and alternate solutions for the traditional ticketing system is the automated fare collection system. The systems include ticket vending machines and ticket checking machines, automatic gate machines, and recharging terminals. It aids in providing efficiency to the fare collection and enhances overall transaction rates.
The primary factors that drive the growth of the overall market include the supportive government initiatives that are engaged in the development of sustainable and smart transportation infrastructure. For instance, the government in UK and the Netherlands have introduced these systems to provide smart card technology for the authorities. Further, the increased use of advanced fare collection technologies such as smartcards and electronic payment systems and the growing usage of smartphones for accessing travel information applications are likely to enhance the overall growth of the market during the forecast period.
However, some of the factors that may negatively affect the growth of the market include higher installation and maintenance costs. These systems require higher costs than the overall toll collection systems due to which there may be some delay or may decrease the adoption of these systems. Besides, the various facilities and efficiency provided by these, such as smaller queues and waiting time are the factors that are likely to provide growth opportunities for the market growth in the near future.
Segmental Outlook
The global automated fare collection system market is segmented on the basis of technology and application. Based on the technology, the market is segmented into the magnetic strip, smart cards, optical character recognition (OCR), and near field communication (NFC). Further, based on the application, the market is segmented into railway & transport, parking, entertainment, and others such as toll collection.
Smart Cards Segment to Considerably Grow Over the Forecast Period
Amongst the technology of the global AFC market, the smart cards segment is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period. The smart cards provide various facilities such as efficient fare collection, saves time, improves the overall transaction rate, and also reduces waiting time in queues for buying tickets. The smart card also offers travelers to carry just a single card for all transit modes. For instance, in Abu Dhabi, the UAE administration and Xerox transportation solutions implemented an automated fare collection system for buses offering a single card for the usage of transit modes. Thus, it is expected to considerably drive the segmental growth of the over the forecast period.
Regional Outlook
The global drive the segmental growth of the market is geographically segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Europe is expected to hold a significant share in the global market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increased implementation of these systems across the region along with the government supportive initiatives for the implementation of these systems. Thus, this is projected to propel the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
Further, Asia-Pacific is also expected to witness significant growth in the market owing to the increased focus of the government towards infrastructural development in countries such as India. Expansion of railway infrastructure, highway networks, and metro projects to considerably drive the regional growth of the market during the forecast period.
