Electronic toll collection (ETC) market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The global ETC market is expanding owing to technological advancements, government initiatives, and urban transportation needs. Electronic toll collection system (ETC) systems use radio frequency identification (RFID), global positioning system (GPS), automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), and dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) to automate toll collection and improve traffic flow. Key technologies include the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G connectivity. Government initiatives support ETC deployment, while public-private partnerships facilitate road development. Challenges include cost, public acceptance, and data privacy.
Market Dynamics
Increasing government investments in smart transportation
Government investments in smart transportation infrastructure and policies aimed at reducing traffic congestion and emissions are bolstering the adoption of ETC systems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in December 2023, road traffic crashes caused 1.19 million mortalities annually, with injuries being the leading cause for children and young adults. For instance, in September 2020, Colombia’s highway authority Invías launched a $15.0 million tender to develop a “smart highway” monitoring network that will cover 2,400km of roads across the country. The contract involves installing 210 surveillance stations that will monitor and report traffic speeds, emergency information, and data on stolen vehicles and cargo, among other services. The growing participation from government & transportation authorities in the development of smart roads is a key factor driving the growth of the ETC market globally.
Market Segmentation
Urban Area ETC System to Exhibit the Highest CAGR
The ETC system eliminates the need to stop improves the traffic flow and reduces traffic congestion at peak hours in urban areas. The benefits of this system make it attractive for urban authorities to manage growing traffic volume effectively. Additionally, the adoption of these systems eliminates the need for additional physical infrastructure.
Regional Outlook
The electronic toll collection market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Government Initiatives and Investment in Asia-Pacific Region
Governments are prioritizing smart infrastructure projects, including ETC systems, to enhance road efficiency and decrease travel time, with a significant focus on roads and bridges. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in May 2024, the NIP project count currently stands at 9,142, covering 34 sub-sectors, according to recent news reports. As part of the initiative, 2,476 projects are currently in the development phase, with an estimated investment of $1.9 trillion. The transportation sector accounts for nearly half of the under-development projects, with 3,906 projects specifically focused on roads and bridges.
Electronic Toll Collection Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
The government is investing a lot of finances in infrastructure modernization as part of its initiatives to promote the use of sophisticated tolling systems. According to the World Economic Forum, in April 2021, the US infrastructure plan includes $2.3 trillion for investments across the US, including modernizing highways and funding the care economy. The plan also includes $650.0 billion for roads and rail transport, $20.0 billion for road safety programs, and $20.0 billion for neighborhood reconnections.
Market Players Outlook
*Note: Major Players Sorted in No Particular Order.
The major companies serving the electronic toll collection market include Conduent, Inc., Kapsch TrafficCom AG, Siemens Ltd., IBI Group Inc., and Thales Group among others. The market players are increasingly focusing on business expansion and product development by applying strategies such as collaborations, mergers and acquisitions to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2024, Airports Corp. of Vietnam (ACV) planned to implement an ETC system at five major airports across Vietnam, initially piloted at Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat. The system extended to three more airports, including Cat Bi, Phu Bai, and Da Nang, to alleviate traffic congestion.
