The global smart transportation market size is expected to reach USD 285.12 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at 13.0% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The requirement for an efficient management system for seamless transportation services is predicted to increase, as the number of cars on-road grows and existing transportation infrastructure becomes ineffective.
Favorable government actions aimed at improving infrastructure and easing the transition toward an effective transportation system are expected to aid sector growth. By reacting to specific data on the peaks and troughs of passenger service, artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) can help balance operations. Smart transportation technology will provide customers with detailed transportation information, such as actual arrival information to prevent waiting at crowded platforms, and instant visibility and alerts for trouble spots or issues affecting citywide congestion on public streets.
As smart transportation has become a vital aspect of the global smart city initiative, increasing investments in smart city solutions are expected to provide new avenues for market growth over the forecast period. Growing adoption of smart transportation solutions by government authorities has led to enhanced security & supply chain resiliency as well as environmental considerations. Furthermore, it has also added key benefits such as better management, security, and efficiency of transport systems in cities. Hence, several vendors are expected to develop and expand new products and solutions.
