Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Automated Fare Collection Market

The global Automated Fare Collection market size is projected to reach US$ 22.6 billion by 2026, from US$ 10.52 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 13.6% during 2021-2026. AFC systems comprise automatic ticket vending machines, card recharge terminals, gate machines, and ticket checking machines. Rising demand for hassle-free and efficient transportation systems is expected to be one of the key factors driving the market. Increasing usage of plastic money, real-time payments, and digital payment gateways, such as debit card, credit card, and Near Field Communication (NFC) payment applications are also anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period. These systems are rapidly replacing traditional ticketing systems due to their benefits, such as better process management, revenue generation, financial fraud prevention, and superior system planning. They enable operators to improve the transaction rate and processing efficiency of theoverall fare collection process, thereby minimizing waiting time and eliminating the need for physical currency management. Automated fare collection systems can be seen in a number of high transit areas including commercial workplaces, government buildings, parking places, amusement and entertainment parks, toll collection centers on highways, and public transport stations. Rapid public infrastructure developments in developing economies across the world have created many opportunities for the market. In addition, increasing regional integration between system providers and transit agencies, such as airports, railways, and parking lots, is also fueling the market growth. Wide usage of wireless networks, smartphones, and contactless technology for digital transactions along with flexible fare plans offered by these systems is expected to boost the market growth. They also provide enhanced transaction security as well as effective management of funds collected by the transportation service providers. However, high installation and maintenance costs may hinder market growth, especially in developing economies. AFC systems also act as foundation for the deployment of an integrated ticketing solution. Integrated ticketing enables commuters to travel using multiple transport modes, such as buses, railways, and subways, with a single ticket that is valid for the entire journey. Various governments are deploying integrated ticketing solutions to simplify switching between multiple modes of transportation and to encourage commuters to use public transport services more often. For instance, in U.K., the Oyster card was introduced as an electronic ticket for use in public transport in London, by the Transport for London (TfL). The card is can be used in London Buses, London Underground, London Overground, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), Tramlink, some river boat services, and majority of the National Rail services within the London fare zones.

Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Automated Fare Collection Market

Based on application, the market has been classified into railways & transportation, parking, entertainment, and others. Railways & transportation accounted for the major market share in 2018 and is anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rapidly expanding railway infrastructure, highway networks, and development of expressways across a number of countries. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems - the specialized AFC systems used on highways for toll collection - form an indispensable component of smart transportation projects. These systems help government agencies and transit system operators in reducing vehicle congestion and improving the overall traffic flow on key transit routes. These systems are expected to have a widespread adoption owing to their contactless transaction processing capability and increasing number of deployments at highway toll collection centers. Moreover, they also transmit transaction information to the vehicle owners mobile phone through the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) modem technology. ETC systems utilize the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology for automatic toll tax payment. Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)-based authentication systems consisting of RFID cards and readers are rapidly gaining popularity due to their low costs and ease of operation.

Regional Insights

North America led the global market in 2018 and will continue the dominance over the forecast years owing to quick adoption of emerging technologies in this region. Factors, such as rising tech-savvy population, improved internet and communication network infrastructures, and high number of smartphone users, also remained instrumental in facilitating widespread deployment and usage of AFC systems in the region over the years. Moreover, presence of leading AFC system integrators and manufacturers that are steadily working on the development and deployment of latest solutions will boost the regions growth. The Asia Pacific regional market is experiencing a surge in the demand for AFC systems. This can be primarily attributed to the rising investments from governments of emerging economies aimed at the development of railway infrastructure, expansion of highway network, and metro projects to facilitate inter-city and intra-city travel. The growing digital payment infrastructure and higher smartphone penetration in the region are anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for key industry players in the upcoming years. However, Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR of 17.1% from 2019 to 2025.
