Report Overview: Global Smart Parking Systems Market


The global smart parking systems market size was valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to register a CAGR of 16.3% from 2021 to 2027. While the rising number of vehicles across the globe is leading to traffic congestions in various parts of the world, it is equally making it challenging for drivers to find parking spaces. The demand for smart and intelligent parking systems that can help city administrations in efficiently managing the dispersed spaces and the drivers in finding spaces to park vehicles has been rising as a result. The ability of these systems to ensure the required flexibility and scalability is also expected to trigger the growth of the market for smart parking system.

Increasing adoption of integrated automated solutions coupled with the advancements in wireless technologies and the proliferation of digital payment technologies in the market is anticipated to contribute growth over the forecast period 2021-2027. Technologies utilized for the deployment of efficient systems include sensing devices, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, smart parking meters, data analytics, mobile applications for e-reservation of slots, and online payments. These sensing systems not only determine whether a lot is vacant or occupied, but also analyze and transmit the information to various channels such as web applications, mobile applications, and dynamic signage. As a result, rising advancements in these technologies are anticipated to fuel industry growth over the forecast period.

Poor traffic management is turning out to be the root cause of vehicle overcrowding and resultant congestion, which further leads to noise pollution and air pollution that can potentially stifle economic activities. These systems driven by advances in technology can be very useful at this juncture owing to their ability to facilitate the collection of real-time data and determine the availability of parking lots, thereby benefiting the users in terms of time and fuel costs. Smart parking systems can often involve low-cost sensors and smartphone-enabled automated payment systems that can allow drivers to identify the available spaces and reserve their spot in advance. These system scans subsequently minimizes vehicular emissions as drivers do not have to circle the city blocks unnecessarily in search of parking spaces.

Having realized that such system scan also helps in minimizing traffic congestion and curtailing pollution levels, several governments across the globe are undertaking initiatives for large-scale adoption of these systems. As such, favorable government schemes launched toward this end are expected to contribute remarkably to the growth of the market for smart parking system. Given that large-scale deployment of these systems is possible through significant funding from the national governments, increasing deployment of these systems at airports, corporate campuses, and other public venues are anticipated to drive the growth of the market for smart parking system. For instance, in February 2017, the U.K. government announced the funding of USD 4.8 million across 19 local authorities for digital transport innovations. This initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to working on smart parking projects.

Increasing vehicle sizes coupled with confined parking spaces in urban cities is expected to act as a challenge for the market for smart parking system. Also, parking facilities require high construction costs per space coupled with a maintenance contract with the supplier. As a result, it contributes to the high operating and maintenance costs of these facilities. Furthermore, various factors such as high implementation cost and non-availability of supporting infrastructure are expected to hinder the growth of the market for smart parking system.

Hardware Insights: Global Smart Parking Systems Market

Based on hardware, the market has been segmented into pucks, cameras and LPRs, smart meters, signage, and gates. The cameras and LPRs segment is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period owing to the increasing use of LPRs in-vehicle surveillance and license plate recognition. Smart parking guidance systems and LPR systems often feature PTZ cameras and stereo cameras to monitor and guide vehicles in the slots. The cameras and LPRs are witnessing high traction as they can detect cars leveraging backend video analytics.
The smart meters segment accounted for the largest market share owing to the adoption of smart meters for on-street applications. These meters significantly reduce the requirement of the workforce to manage small or large parking areas. Smart meters are widely used owing to their ability to continuously provide large volumes of data for further processing and analysis using the operator model. Furthermore, these meters are widely used in garages and lots as it allows the use of various ways of payments, such as through debit cards and credit cards.
Software Insights

On the basis of software, the market for smart parking system has been further segmented into parking guidance system and analytics solution. The parking guidance system segment held the largest market share in 2019. These system scans guide drivers to vacant slots and eventually help in saving their time. These system scan ensure a user-friendly experience for vehicle drivers as they monitor the status of various ultra-sonic sensors and electronic signs and offer a user-friendly graphical interface for drivers.

The analytics solutions segment is expected to grow at a remarkable rate over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the ability of the parking sensors affixed to the light poles to systematically and reliably gather information about the occupied and vacant spaces. This information is gathered in real-time and transmitted to the drivers and managerial personnel using an analytics solution. The gathered information helps in ensuring safety and security at parking sites in case of contingencies and emergencies.
