Automatic License Plate Recognition Gains Momentum

The automatic license plate recognition and automatic number plate recognition segment is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period. The technology uses computer vision to read license plates on vehicles automatically and rapidly, and the need for accurate automated capture and identification is a key driver.

Rekor Systems, Inc. is a notable provider, offering OpenALPR, a specialized license plate and vehicle recognition solution suite. Alongside incident detection and response systems, these tools give authorities data-driven ways to enforce regulations and manage roadway safety.

Professional Services Record the Highest Growth

By services, the market is segmented into professional and managed services. The professional services segment is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Professional services encompass system integration and deployment, consulting, training, and support.

Demand rises as safety solutions are adopted: providers design deployments, recommend suitable solutions, and upgrade existing road and traffic infrastructure. Road Safety Matters is cited as a global professional safety consultancy addressing such requirements. System integration helps ensure safety technologies work optimally within existing infrastructure.

Policy Momentum and Regional Leadership

According to the World Health Organization, over 1.35 million people die yearly from road traffic accidents, and millions suffer injuries. This has propelled governments and transportation authorities to invest in road safety measures, stricter traffic regulations, and penalties for violations.

North America held the largest share in 2022, driven by supportive government initiatives and substantial investment. The U.S. Department of Transportation introduced the National Roadway Safety Strategy in January 2022 as a roadmap to address roadway fatalities. For B2B vendors, aligning product portfolios with such public programs is central to capturing demand in the road safety market.

Competitive Landscape and Strategic Priorities

Vendors in the road safety market range from specialist enforcement providers to diversified technology groups, and recent contract awards illustrate how enforcement products are procured. The Sensys Gatso Group award in Belgium and the Siemens Mobility partnership in the UK show that hardware, systems, and related services are often sourced together, with professional services supporting design, consulting, training, and ongoing support.

Europe is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, supported by a notable increase in vehicle numbers, as new vehicle registrations in Europe reached approximately 15.5 million according to the EU Pocketbook 2020/2021 edition. The market is segmented by solution, services, and region, covering North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Governments worldwide are investing in developing and maintaining safer roads, implementing stricter traffic regulations, and enforcing penalties for traffic violations.
