Based on system, the market is divided into automatic vehicle classification, violation enforcement system, automatics vehicle identification, and others. In 2023, the automatic vehicle classification was valued at over USD 3 billion. There has been a constant increase in demand for greater efficiency and accuracy in vehicle identification at toll points, which can be achieved by integrating advanced technologies. These technologies provide seamless identification and enhance the ability to process vehicles quickly, manage traffic flow, and predict congestion.
Organizations are constantly focused on multiple ways to reduce operational costs and improve user experience. AVI providers offer cost-effective solutions by leveraging advanced sensors, optimizing processes, and enhancing resource utilization. Further, increased urbanization and the need for efficient traffic management have led to tolling systems becoming more complex. As a result, transportation authorities are increasingly shifting towards advanced AVI providers to manage their tolling operations, which require sophisticated identification solutions.
Based on technology, the vehicle tolling system market is categorized into RFID, DSRC, GNSS/GPS, video analytics/CCTV-based systems, and others. The RFID segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 12% from 2024 to 2032. The segment growth is driven by the demand for faster, more efficient toll collection methods that reduce traffic congestion and improve overall transportation efficiency.
As governments and private toll operators aim to minimize bottlenecks at toll plazas, RFID technology offers a reliable solution by enabling contactless toll payments, where vehicles equipped with RFID tags are automatically identified and charged without stopping. This not only improves traffic flow but also reduces emissions from idling vehicles, aligning with environmental goals.
North America dominated the global vehicle tolling system market with a major share of over 40% in 2023. The U.S. government has made substantial investments to enhance road infrastructure and tolling system capabilities. These investments give it a competitive advantage in traffic management by ensuring efficient transportation and revenue collection facilities.
The growing focus on reducing urban congestion and implementing smart city solutions in the region has amplified the demand for efficient tolling solutions. Further, country’s advanced technological infrastructure provides a natural advantage for implementing cutting-edge tolling systems. There is a strong focus on innovation within the nation's transportation sector, driving the adoption of advanced vehicle tolling system.
Additionally, European nations have a long history of implementing tolling systems, leading to a dense network of interconnected road pricing solutions. EU regulations and cross-border agreements have facilitated seamless movement of vehicles across national borders, driving the need for interoperable tolling systems. Europe's central location and high volume of international traffic make it a key market for advanced vehicle tolling systems.
Asia Pacific region has experienced substantial economic growth and rapid urbanization, which has fueled demand for advanced traffic management and tolling solutions. High growth in vehicle ownership and expanding road networks in countries such as China, India, and Japan drive the need for sophisticated tolling and revenue collection solutions. Moreover, significant investments in transportation infrastructure support the growth of the vehicle tolling systems market in Asia Pacific. As a result, the rapid development of smart cities is creating opportunities for innovative tolling solutions integrated with broader urban management systems.
