Parking Management Market Trends:

Rising trend of smart cities

The IMARC Group’s report states that the global smart cities market reached US$ 1,233.7 Billion in 2023. Smart cities help enhance the quality of life of people by connecting transportation and parking. Parking management systems are used in smart cities as they offer up-to-date information on parking space and traffic patterns, aid in overcoming traffic jams and improving mobility in cities. Furthermore, smart cities heavily rely on data for planning and management. Parking management systems gather large volumes of information on traffic patterns, times of maximal parking demand, and usage rates. These statistics are used to make relevant decisions like determining where to add parking spaces or how to set prices to regulate demand.

Growing sales of EVs

There is presently a need for more EV charging stations in public and private parking because of the increasing number of people opting for EVs. Some parking management firms are including charging infrastructure in their designs and operations, and this involves enhancement of power supply and charging hardware, thereby increasing the parking management market revenue. In addition, to control the power demand that is required when several EVs are charging at once, smart charging solutions are being incorporated into the parking management systems. These systems can emphasis charging according to the demand, type of car and charge level and even change the rate of charging as per the grid demand for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The IMARC Group’s report shows that the global electric vehicle market is expected to reach US$ 4,918.7 Billion by 2032.

Continuous advancements in technology

Internet of Things (IoT) technology makes it possible for parking sensors, cameras, and other related devices to be connected to the internet, which allows real time control and updating of parking spaces. Additionally, modern mobile applications enable users to discover, book and pay for parking spaces using their devices. The interfaces with global positioning systems (GPS) and real-time data make these apps provide directions to available areas and recommend other parking areas when full. Besides this, many key players are moving towards cloud-based platforms that offer scalable, flexible, and cost-effective parking management solutions. For example, Adaptive Recognition, which is a pioneer in License Plate Recognition (LPR) solutions, introduced Carmen Cloud ANPR, a groundbreaking solution designed to revolutionize parking management operations in the year 2023.
