The global intelligent transportation system market size is estimated to reach USD 128.17 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 10.8% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The continuous advancements in transportation network technologies have accelerated the demand for efficient transportation systems. The latest technologies, such as electronic toll collection, Next-Generation Air/Ground Communication (NEXCOM), drone traffic management, and blind-spot detection, resulted in heightened expectations for efficient traffic and transportation networks. The growing need to present real-time traffic information equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) for enhanced safety & security is boosting the growth of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) market.
The growing adoption of telecommunications technologies and evolution of IT systems are anticipated to assist in reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Further, the implementation of an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) that emphasizes real-time data utilization and simultaneously addresses the impact criteria is creating a positive ITS market outlook. The integration of energy distribution technologies such as Energy Storage Systems (ESS), smart grids, and charging technologies in ITS helps distribution agencies utilize real-time data to plan and implement capacity expansion strategies for the future, supporting the intelligent transportation system market growth. According to the reports drafted by the Department of Transport of the Republic of Korea on the ITS Development Strategy, ITS can help reduce fuel consumption, traffic congestion, and greenhouse emissions and prevent automobile idling.
The concept of smart cities has been gaining increased traction in recent years, with several governments across Asia Pacific devising favorable regulations to promote smart cities initiatives. Intelligent transportation systems are one of the integral components of smart cities initiatives. An ITS employs multiple next-generation technologies and solutions, such as traffic surveillance cameras, parking guidance systems, Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM), weather information & forecasting, and satellite communication in smart cities infrastructure, that enriches the operational efficiency of the transportation networks in the smart cities projects, creating a favorable environment for ITS market.
