The global automated fare collection (AFC) market is expected
to reach USD 10.74 billion by 2025 according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. Automated fare collection systems are the collective components
which enable the automated ticketing system for public transportation network.
They provide a stable and integrated platform for all the activities regarding
the fare collection with equipment like automatic gate machine, ticket vending
machine, and ticket checking machine. Automated fare collection systems are
used in a number of high transit areas including government buildings, large
commercial workplaces and public transport ports. The growing demand for an
efficient, automated and hassle free transportation is fueling the need for
automated fare collection systems.
The passenger traffic is growing
by leaps and bounds worldwide due to ever rising population which in turn is
pressurizing the government to initiate and implement new and innovative ways
to manage the public transportation services. This is boosting the trend of
automated fare collection in several countries as the government is investing
increasingly in the infrastructure development. The need for automated, easy to
use, and compact systems for everyday use is also driving the automated fare
collection market as with recent technological advancements fare collection has
become wireless and multifunctional.
There is growing demand for the
automated fare collection systems owing to the developments in the metro
infrastructures and increasing government investments from developing economies
of Asia Pacific region. The ability of these systems to deliver better
management, revenue generation, fraud prevention and better future planning are
impelling the automated fare collection system markets.
The increasing use of wireless
connections, smart-phone users, smart cards, contactless technology, and
electronic payment is expected to append the growth of market. The growing
adoption of smart technologies and strategic alliances of transportation
agencies with technology providers to establish such services is further
helping the market to grow.
