Market Dynamic
The growing demand for reliable & on-the-spot travel information from passengers is a key driver fueling the growth of the passenger information system market. In addition, an increasing interest in intelligent transportation systems, along with development in the telecommunications sector facilitating faster data transfer capabilities, contributes to market expansion. The growth in demand for intelligent transportation systems, integrated with the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, &
big data technologies in the transportation sector, further increases global sales of passenger information systems. The significant development of transportation infrastructure globally acts as a major catalyst for market growth.
However, challenges arise from complexities in integrating with legacy infrastructure & communication networks. As the ongoing digitization in transit operations presents an opportunity to overcome these challenges. Stringent transportation regulatory policies serve as a restraint to market dynamics.
Research Scope and Analysis
By Component
In the component segment, the largest market share is held by the solution, reflecting a growing demand for both hardware & software essential for transportation infrastructure, which includes multimedia devices, communication tools, networking equipment, sensors, & routers, allowing passengers' access to information physically or remotely via mobile apps & web browsers. The passenger information system delivers diverse transit details, including live updates on public vehicle arrivals & departures, highlights vehicle delays, & issues emergency notifications. The system's development extends beyond stations or airports, reaching remote locations with vital real-time information in emergencies.
Further, the services segment is expected to show rapid growth, mainly in emerging countries like India, Brazil, & other South Asian nations, which is fueled by an increase in professional consultancy services, with vendors providing diverse support programs customized to meet specific passenger needs & requirements.
By Type
In terms of types, the information
display system claims the largest market share in 2023, driven by the broader adoption of LCD & LED panels due to their compact size and affordability. Transit stations highly utilize information display systems, using interactive kiosks, TFT screens, & HMI for reliable passenger information dissemination. The constant technological developments in displays, along with the growing popularity of smartphones & handheld devices, are expected to further grow the demand for information display systems.
Further, the passenger information mobile solution emerges as the fastest-growing segment, which is propelled by the increasing number of mobile devices & smartphones, leading to a higher need for mobile-based PIS applications among passengers. Transit agencies are highly deploying mobile applications to attract passengers, providing them with reliable, quick, and live information through mobile channels. The simultaneous growth of multi-modal transit applications & the expanding mobile subscriber base are anticipated to fuel the overall growth of the passenger information system market in the forecast period.
By Mode
The market is categorized based on transportation modes, into roadways, railways, airways, & waterways. The roadway segment dominates in terms of revenue in 2023, serving as a major mode of public transport globally. The growth in vehicular traffic worldwide, along with insufficient transport infrastructure, highlights the need for efficient transportation movement management. Further, initiatives like China’s Intelligent Transport System Association & India’s Smart Cities project contribute to the growth of intelligent transport systems & traffic management, promising significant expansion for the roadway segment.
Moreover, the market is further driven by urbanization, growing public transport options like buses, trams, & railways, and development in data connectivity & transportation technology aggregators. These factors, along with enhanced public transport systems, are driving more passengers to choose public transportation, driven by rising fuel prices & the challenges of parking personal vehicles, which is expected to sustain & propel market growth in the coming future.
