Autonomous Bus Market size was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2022 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 19.7% between 2023 and 2032, propelled by the accelerating rate of urbanization and congestion across both developed and developing countries. According to the World Bank, presently, 56% of the global population, equating to 4.4 billion people, reside in urban areas. This urbanization trend is projected to persist, with the urban population is set to grow 1.5 times, reaching 6 billion by 2045. Furthermore, it is expected to more than double the current figure by 2050, at which time nearly 7 out of 10 individuals will call cities their home.
As cities become more densely populated, traffic congestion and the need for efficient public transportation solutions increase. Autonomous buses can provide an innovative and flexible approach to address this challenge. They can offer on-demand services, dynamically adapt to traffic conditions, and provide "last-mile" connectivity, which is crucial for solving transportation issues in urban areas.

Autonomous buses are often electric or powered by clean energy sources, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional diesel-powered buses. This aligns with government initiatives and consumer preferences for eco-friendly transportation options, further bolstering autonomous bus sales trajectory.
However, the development of autonomous bus technology is a complex and costly endeavor. Ensuring the safety of passengers, pedestrians, and other road users is of paramount importance. Any incidents or accidents involving autonomous buses can lead to significant setbacks for the industry. As a result, there is a need for ongoing investment in research and development to improve the safety and reliability of autonomous bus systems, which may slow down market growth.
