Traffic Signal Controller Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Adaptive Controller, Smart Controllers, Coordinated Controller, Standard Controllers, Fixed Time Controller and Other Product Types), Application (Small and Simple Intersections, Large and Complex Intersections, Urban, Suburbs and Other Applications) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Traffic Signal Controller Market is accounted for $4.62 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $11.43 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. To regulate the sequence and timing of traffic lights, a traffic signal controller is an automated system that monitors and alters the demands of automobiles and pedestrians. Traffic flow at adjoining intersections can be synchronised when utilised in combination with a coordinated adaptive traffic signal controller. With advanced surveillance tools, the traffic signal controller has enabled traffic low regulation efficiently on the existing road infrastructure. It has condensed unnecessary jamming of roads due to cross movements of vehicles resulting in smooth flow of traffic and minimizing accidents.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1.25 million deaths occur due to road accidents, annually. The efforts of various governments to reduce fatalities from road accidents have led to increased safety standards in new vehicles.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing urbanization
Growing urbanization results in amplified expenditure ability of the population which in turn surges the sale of automobiles. Nonetheless, it also leads in obstacles, includes fast-tracked demand for well-linked transport systems, and other infrastructure. Mounting urban population requires operative commute necessities for smooth transportation of humans and goods. Hence, these are the factors driving the growth of the market.
Restraint:
Lack of standardized and uniform technologies
The presence of multiple companies without the following standardization creates a challenge for users to implement the system. If an existing system is working, incorporating a new system from a different company is a challenge as both systems do not need to be able to work in coordination. The legacy systems may also lack advancements and work on older analog or purely electric systems for traffic control. Consequently, these factors are the restraining the market growth.
Opportunity:
Increased demand for efficient road networks
Developed economies are now focusing on an environment friendly commute that is giving rise to technologies such as electric vehicles, connected vehicles, and autonomous vehicles. These vehicles function by meeting data from their surroundings, exchanging it with other vehicles, connecting to the smart transportation authorities access. The surge in demand for connectivity solutions, encouraging development and promotion of green fuel are responsible for the growing demand for traffic signal controllers across the world.
Threat:
High cost associated with equipment installation
Huge initial investments are required for setting up traffic management system that includes installing multiple hardware components. These systems have a high equipment cost, and their accuracy depends on environmental conditions. Also, the operational and maintenance expenses regularly add to the overall cost. The installation and maintenance are undertaken by skilled labour who charges for their expertise. Thus, this factor is hindering the market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse influence on sales of the traffic signal controller, whose sales have been impacted unfavourably owing to the downfall in the global economy bionetworks. This pandemic has instigated enormous hesitation in the industry and a fright situation for all industrial value chain players involved.
The standard controller segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The standard controller segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to increasing demand for connected and autonomous vehicles. It works on fixed timing settings in the microcontroller. Rising traffic congestion and road accidents due to growing transportation in regions and areas with less density boost the market growth.
The urban segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The urban segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to traffic density in metropolitan locations is higher than in other applications, it is optimal for the sale of the product to increase during the assessment time. Because of the mix of smaller and larger junctions, sales are anticipated to be high. So, this major factor will drive the growth of urban segment in the global traffic signal controller during the forecast period.
Region with highest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increase in the number of automobiles owned by individuals. The existence of well-established infrastructure and technical titans is also credited with the market's growth. Additionally, strict government intervention and increased support for artificial intelligence and automation will drive overall growth of the market.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing automobile adoption and urbanization. Due to the high population density and the emergence of smart cities in this region are estimated to drive the market for traffic signal controllers. Therefore, these factors are expected to drive the region growth.
