Weigh-In-Motion System Market (WIM) by Component (Hardware, Software & Services), Technology (Bending Plate, Load Cell, Piezoelectric Sensor), Vehicle Speed, Installation, Function, End User - Global Forecast 2024-2030
The Weigh-In-Motion System Market size was estimated at USD 1.27 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.40 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.14% to reach USD 2.67 billion by 2030.
The growing trade and eCommerce activities worldwide have increased the road freight traffic, eventually raising the number of overloaded trucks in transit. Overloaded vehicles pose a real threat to road safety and significantly contribute to road surface degradation, particularly on highways and bridges. Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) technology has emerged as a viable solution for traffic monitoring, weight enforcement, and weight-based tolling of overloaded road freight. Government inclination toward traffic management systems, automated license plate recognition (ALPR), and the adoption of WIM wireless systems for sustainable railway transport have further expanded the product's popularity among various end-users. However, concerns associated with system effectiveness and accuracy and strict standards for WIM systems limit the development of weigh-in-motion systems. The rise of intelligent weigh-in-motion systems, advancements in strip sensors, and surging investments in smart city development is expected to create new opportunities for utilizing WIM systems.
Regional InsightsThe Asia-Pacific and European regions witness an increasing growth in the use of WIM systems across highways and roadways, primarily considering the increasing eCommerce activities. Researchers in the region are constantly working on introducing new studies regarding the use of IoT and AI in WIM and are creating a hallway for startups to enter the arena. The Americas has a more developed landscape for the WIM market, considering the presence of well-established regional players currently focused on partnerships with state authorities to expand product commercialization. The U.S., Canada, China, Germany, and the UK occupy some of the largest WIM manufacturing companies. European Commission invested in several projects developing WIM systems in the 1990s and is currently focused on their deployment across countries, following the regulations and guidelines of the governments. Moreover, highway administrations and industrial authorities are providing standards regarding WIM to ensure their quality and accuracy.
