Based on component, the market is divided into solutions, and services. In 2023, the solutions segment accounted for a market share of over 78%. The integration of advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and big data analytics in road safety solutions has significantly improved their effectiveness driving the growth of the solutions segment in the market. Companies are developing sophisticated surveillance systems to monitor and enforce traffic laws.
 

With these introductions of new technologies in the road safety market the solutions are becoming more efficient to manage and monitor the traffic. Development of automatic emergency response systems, driver monitoring systems, incident detection systems are driving the growth of the solutions segment. For instance, in March 2024, Miovision announces innovative integration with samsara to enhance emergency vehicle response times. By integrating Opticom EVP solutions with Samsara’s comprehensive IoT offerings including vehicle telematics, driver safety, and vehicle health.
 

Based on application, the road safety market is categorized into urban, highway, rural, and work zone safety. The urban segment is expected to hold over USD 5 billion by 2032. The growth is driven by factors such as increasing urbanization and population growth, and smart city integration. As more people move to cities, the density of vehicles and pedestrians on urban roads increases, leading to a higher demand for effective road safety solutions to manage the increased traffic and reduce accidents.
 

Urban road safety is becoming increasingly integrated with smart city initiatives which foster the growth of the urban area in the road safety market. For instance, in February 2024, Kapsch launched state-of-the-art traffic signal management in Sweden as a smart city initiative?. This initiative enhances the efficiency and reliability of Sweden's centralized traffic signal control and monitoring system through cutting-edge technology.
 

Europe dominated the road safety market with around 36% of the revenue share in 2023. Europe has witnessed a significant number of road accidents and fatalities, with 19,917 deaths reported in 2023. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for improved road safety measures across the continent. The integration of advanced technologies such as intelligent transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, and sophisticated traffic management solutions is driving the market in the region.
 

European governments are implementing stringent road safety regulations and investing in initiatives. These initiative aims to reduce road fatalities and enhance traffic safety through better infrastructure and enforcement of safety measures. For instance, in June 2024, the European Council approves the decision to strengthen the EU’s efforts to achieve its road safety objectives. This objective enables the continuous improvement of road safety and reaches the ambitious targets of halving road fatalities and serious injuries by 2030.
 

Rising vehicle ownership and urbanization have led to increased road traffic and congestion in North America. More vehicles on the road result in higher risks of accidents, which drives the demand for advanced road safety solutions. Advancements in technology, such as the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), autonomous vehicles, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, are enhancing road safety measures in the region.
 

Urbanization in countries such as China, India, and Indonesia are leading to increased vehicle ownership and road traffic. This growth in vehicle numbers raises the need for advanced road safety measures. APAC countries are focusing on reducing road traffic accidents and fatalities through various programs and initiatives aimed at improving road safety standards and enforcement.
