The rapidly increasing vehicle demand and production in developing & developed countries and shifting consumer preferences towards smart vehicles will positively influence the market outlook. According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), around 2.9 million cars were registered in Germany in 2020. Similarly, according to China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country expects smart cars with fully or partially autonomous functions to account for nearly 50% of the new vehicles sold in the country by 2025. As more vehicles are produced and sold at an accelerated pace, the need for innovative transportation management solutions is poised to grow through 2027, prompting companies to commercialize advanced toll collection solutions in the market.
 

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic negatively impacted the ETC industry in 2020. The travel bans and temporary closure of manufacturing plants have severely impacted the market statistics. The manufacturers in automotive, transportation, construction and semiconductor industries witnessed a significant impact due to shutdowns and the unavailability of labor or raw materials. Also, the restriction on foreign trades and implementation of various government laws to take precautionary measures impacted the market growth. However, with gradual relaxation on imposed lockdowns and resumption of the transportation sector, the industry is expected to witness growth by the second half of 2021.
 

Integration of RFID into electronic toll systems for improved transparency and smooth exchange of payment information

The RFID technology in the Europe electronic toll collection market is set to register 14% CAGR through 2027. Several European countries are shifting toward innovative tools to increase the efficiency of transport network and achieve their sustainability objectives. For instance, RFID-based mobility monitoring and management systems were adopted by several cities across Italy as of 2018. The positive outlook toward advanced technology will propel the adoption of RFID-based electronic toll collection systems across the region.
 

The RFID tags are scanned through RFID reader mounted on electronic toll collection system to automate deduction of toll amounts. The system enables easy exchange of payment information between the vehicle owners and toll authorities. This results in reducing manual labor & human errors and increasing transparency in collection of toll charges.

The U.S. Automatic Vehicle Identification Systems (AVIS) market size is projected to expand at a 10% CAGR from 2020 to 2027. The growth has been majorly driven by the rising adoption of intelligent transportation system technologies to identify and track stolen vehicles across the country. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), about USD 6.4 billion was lost in the U.S. to motor vehicle theft in 2019. The implementation of electronic toll collection systems along with AVI technology aids in toll collection as well as automatic identification of vehicles. The technology simplifies access control and vehicle identification process by using secure RFID tags or cards that eliminate the need to manually identify a vehicle.
 

Prepaid payment type will gain traction in the market due to high demand for fast and cashless transaction in ETC system

The prepaid segment held more than 45% of the electronic toll collection market revenue in 2020. The increased demand for quick and hassle-free transaction process is driving the demand that allows direct payment of toll fees from the prepaid or savings account. The prepaid tag enables automatic deduction of toll charges and allows vehicles to drive through without stopping for transactions. The prepaid card system is integrated with the Toll Management Systems (TMS), enabling toll operators to select vehicle classes and deduct applicable toll fees from the prepaid card. The benefit of fast and cashless transactions will support the adoption of prepaid payment methods in electronic toll collection systems.
 

Rising urbanization resulting in traffic congestion will fuel the demand for advanced toll collection systems in urban zones

The India electronic toll collection market generated over USD 200 million in 2020. The governments of various countries are investing in developing transport infrastructure for enhancing transportation connectivity. For instance, in December 2020, The World Bank and the Government of India announced a USD 500 million projects to develop green and safe national highway corridors under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). Similarly, the Indian government aims to construct 65,000 km of national highways with an investment of USD 741.5 billion by 2022.
 

The development of transport infrastructure is expected to spur the adoption of electronic toll collection systems to quickly perform monetary transactions at tolls and reduce traffic congestion across highways.
