Market Overview 2022-2027:

The global smart highway market size reached US$ 34.8 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 93.3 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 18.16% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Smart highways refer to the infrastructural roads integrated with advanced technologies for improved management and sustainable flow of traffic. The highways are incorporated with artificial intelligence (AI), big data and the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled speed and acoustic sensors, solar panels, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and digital signages. These technologies are embedded to improve visibility, generate energy, communicate with autonomous and connected vehicles and monitor road conditions. They also collect and analyze traffic and vehicle data in real-time to reduce congestion on the streets and optimize e-tolling, payment gateways and parking experience. Smart highways aid in enhancing traffic and passenger safety, reducing travel time and minimizing pollution levels in the environment. 

Smart Highway Market Trends:

The increasing need for reliable and sustainable highways and transportation systems across the globe is among the key factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of smart transportation management systems (STMS) is providing a thrust to the market growth. STMS uses digital sensors to record data regarding landslides, weather conditions and traffic congestions and can display forecasts and alerts on light-emitting diode (LED) screens across the highways. Governments of both developed and emerging economies are also taking extensive initiatives to improve road safety and prevent accidents and mishaps. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the integration of lane departure warning, automatic number plate recognition and electronic vehicle charging systems, on highways, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These innovations aid in reducing the overall travel time and enhance the convenience for travelers. Other factors, including the increasing development of smart cities, along with extensive improvements in the existing infrastructure, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
