Market Dynamics:

The growth of the global automated fare collection system market during the forecast period is driven by factors such as the increasing population and the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in everyday life. The growing population puts pressure on public transportation systems, making it increasingly challenging to handle ticket distribution, checking, and related activities solely through human operators. The adoption of automated fare collection systems (AFC) can alleviate a significant workload by automating these processes.

Furthermore, the integration of IoT into daily life simplifies the adoption of public transport-related apps. Instead of purchasing physical tickets, consumers prefer to use apps or scan Quick Response (QR) codes to buy tickets, as reported by a study from Coherent Market Insights. The use of mobile apps and other IoT technologies accelerates the adoption of the global automated fare collection system market.

The Automated Fare Collection System manufacturers are constantly adopting advanced technologies such as 5G, and Wi-Fi 6, to provide high-quality products to the consumers.
