Growth Drivers
Growing Incidences of Road Accidents Across the Globe – Recently, the number of road accidents has grown considerably which has surged the demand for vehicle safety. As automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems are effective in improving security and law enforcement measures in urban cities, it is an efficacious way for avoiding deaths owing to traffic crashes. According to the statistics data revealed by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.2 million deaths occurred owing to road traffic crashes throughout the world in 2018.
Rising Preference for Advanced Systems in Vehicles – With the rising personal disposable income, people are propelled to adopt technologically advanced systems for their vehicles to enhance their driving experience along with safety. Thus, vehicle manufacturers are integrating developed features such as radars and sensors for efficient automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems for systemic driving processes. For instance, it is observed that in a modern vehicle manufactured today, there are over 70 sensors in total throughout the whole car.
Escalation of Smart and Electronic Vehicles – The rising demand for smart vehicles with advanced traffic control features improves in-vehicle safety and comfort. This factor is expected to propel the demand for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems for producing efficient vehicles in the forecast period. For instance, it was found that by 2025, almost 70% of new vehicles sold in China is expected to be smart vehicles with high-level driving-assist functions.
Increased Demand for Connected Vehicles - For instance, there were over 200 million connected cars in 2021, and this ratio is expected to expand to nearly 400 million connected cars by 2025 worldwide.
The Surge for Requirement of Connected Vehicles – Recent statistics reveal that the sales of connected vehicles are expected to exceed 300 million in 2035 in the United States, making it the biggest industry for connected vehicles.
High Demand for Electric Vehicles – From the recent data, it is being revealed that the global sales of electric vehicles from 2012 to 2021 were calculated to be approximately 17 million electric vehicles worldwide. This figure is further expected to be around 150 million electric vehicles on the roads of the world by 2030.

Application (Traffic Management, Law Enforcement, Electronic Toll Collection, Parking Management, Access Control)
The global automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application in traffic management, law enforcement, electronic toll collection, parking management, access control, and others. Out of these, the traffic management segment is attributed to holding the largest share by the end of 2037. The major factor attributed to the growing segment is the rising concern of traffic congestion over the world which requires efficient systems such as automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system. Recently, it was declared that in 2021, an American driver lost almost 36 hours owing to congestion on a daily average. This figure has increased by 10 years from the previous year. Moreover, the rising number of deaths in traffic crashes coupled with increased cases of traffic violations and rash driving cases is also anticipated to bring lucrative growth opportunities for the adoption of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems in vehicles to efficiently mitigate traffic congestion in the next few years. A report published by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in 2022 stated that approximately 1.5 million people die on Indian roads owing to accidents annually.
Software (ANPR Cameras, Frame Gabbers)
The global automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by software into ANPR cameras, frame grabbers, and others. Out of these three segments, the ANPR cameras segment is projected to hold the most significant share by the end of the forecast period with a notable CAGR value. As automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems are integrated with a technology capable of reading vehicle number plates, quickly and automatically, without any human intervention through using photo or video footage from its cameras, it is estimated to fuel segment growth. Furthermore, the addition of cameras in vehicles for varied purposes is also estimated to increase the utilization rate of ANPR cameras during the forecast period.
