Traffic Signal Controller Market Analysis
The Traffic Signal Controller Market size is estimated at USD 2.97 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.10 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.42% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
- The global satellite component market faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The space sector witnessed challenges such as shortages of raw materials, delayed satellite launch programs, and supply chain disruptions due to strict regulations imposed by governments. The market showcased a strong recovery after the pandemic. An increase in expenditure on the space sector and rising small satellite launches drive the market growth post-covid.
- The satellite components consist of the communications system, power systems, power systems, and others. The communication system includes antennas and transponders that receive and retransmit signals. The propulsion system consists of rockets that propel the satellite, and the power system includes solar panels that provide power. An increasing number of satellite launches and growing expenditure on the space sector drive the market growth. According to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) index, in 2022, there were 8,261 individual satellites orbiting the Earth, with an increase of 11.84% compared to April 2021.
Traffic Signal Controller Market Trends
Adaptive Controller Segment Expected to Lead the Market
- The adaptive controller segment of the market is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, attributed to its increasing popularity globally in improving urban mobility solutions and preventing road fatalities. The adaptive controller solution assists in adapting to traffic light controls based on information collected from sensors, edge devices, and video systems.
- Interval and Phase controllers are extensively in use in emerging nations such as India, which provide a continuous phase for red/yellow/green for every signal. These systems lack the capability of garnering real-time data to effectively help in managing traffic congestion. Therefore, at various intersections, traffic personnel are deployed to manage the growing traffic congestion, which adds to the financial burden of the government. Hence, municipalities across the world are strategizing to adapt to adaptive controller systems to enhance citizens' mobility experience.
- In August 2022, the state government of Hessen (Germany), through the Starke Heimat Hessen (Strong Homeland Hessen) program, announced funding of 2.28 million euros (USD 2.50 Million) for a smart project that aims to use a host of traffic data that is updated in real-time about the traffic concentration in the city. The data would then help first responders navigate the hectic urban environment to get to emergencies within a 10-minute time frame.
- Further, various companies are engaging in developing novel technology to address the issue of traffic congestion all over the world by innovating smart traffic controller solutions. For instance, in April 2023, Derq, a company based out of Canada, announced the development of an AI-based smart road technology that integrates with traffic lights and intersection infrastructure to help avoid collisions between vehicles and pedestrians. The platform helps collect information from existing infrastructure and uses cameras and radar to track the movement of vehicles through an intersection.
- With the increasing demand for sustainable mobility solutions, governments across the globe will invest hefty sums in implementing advanced traffic signal controller systems, which, in turn, would lead to the growth of the adaptive controller segment in the coming years.
Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness surging growth during the forecast period attributed to the rampant urbanization and increase in on-road vehicular fleets in recent years.
- The degree of urbanization in China stood at 65.2% in 2022, compared to 58.84% in 2016. With rapid urbanization in emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region, there exists a greater demand for availing private transportation mediums, thereby leading to increased traffic congestion. TomTom Traffic Index Ranking 2022 placed Bengaluru (India) as the second-most congested city in the world, wherein drivers take an average of 29 minutes and 10 seconds to traverse 10km in the city.
- Excessive traffic congestion in these regions is leading to the government's framing policies and encouraging the adoption of advanced traffic signal controllers to ensure the smooth operation of urban mobility for its citizens. In March 2022, the Karnataka Road Corporation Limited in India floated a tender for the AI-based upgradation of 165 traffic signals. As per the tender floated, the bidder is responsible for providing the commissioning and synchronization of the new adaptive traffic control system at 29 locations.
- Further, in February 2023, Patna Smart City Limited introduced its state-of-the-art adaptive traffic control systems to facilitate the effective management of traffic and ensure increasing consumer safety.
- Coupled with the higher adoption of adaptive traffic control systems across the Asia-Pacific region, the increasing focus on smart city projects and investments in road infrastructure projects further propel the growth of the traffic signal controller market. For instance, in May 2023, South Korea and Saudi Arabia announced the launch of a high-profile bilateral program, 'Saudi-Korean tour' - to showcase bilateral investment opportunities in transport and logistics services.
